The problem seems to be that it can't run under the shell, because the 
shell is broken.

I ran it in a command window.

C:\cygwin\bin>cygcheck ./ls.exe
.\ls.exe
  .\cygwin1.dll
    C:\Windows\system32\ADVAPI32.DLL
      C:\Windows\system32\ntdll.dll
      C:\Windows\system32\KERNEL32.dll
      C:\Windows\system32\RPCRT4.dll
        C:\Windows\system32\Secur32.dll
  .\cygintl-8.dll
    .\cygiconv-2.dll

All of those exist.

My wife went searching and found a recommendation to install cygwin for 
"myself only" instead of "all users', on VIsta, but I haven't been 
offered this option since my first install (if ever).

I hate Vista.  And I'm not too fond of HP either, right now.

But I should note that I had no problems with cygwin on my previous 
(Win2K) machine, which also ran NAV and lots of other potentially dodgy 
apps.
