Yup, good point.  I should have pointed this out, since it's apparently
not clear to Ernest and perhaps others.  I, in fact, run Cygwin from Window
7 Ultamite x64 on my laptop.

Whatever the issue is, it would be nice to have a recipe to reproduce
it for Windows 2008 or 7 x64 without the Amazon tie-in.  That would at
least help localize the problem. :-)
