In this case, I think it's not the figurative meaning, but a little more 
"literal", well, at least in the visual sense.  :-)

Examine the source html for that url and you will find the following 
embedded in it:

<h1>This is the home of the Cygwin project&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<img 
src="insectod4.gif"></h1>

Someone embedded "insectod4.gif" which appears to be an animated gif of a 
bug going in a figure 8.  Quite funny, actually.
