There is no general "log for cygwin"; it's up to individual applications to log
useful information.  In this case it'd be your zsh script logging the commands
it's running and/or the output it's producing.

Yes, Cygwin64 is stable.

Sadly that doesn't tell us much.  You could take a look at the FAQ entry on
fork failures, and see if that gets you anywhere.

Can you provide something to narrow down the search?  Actually giving us the
zsh script you're trying to run would be a good start!
