It looks as though the Hexiom solver that you're using has Cygwin under 
the bonnet. The version of Cygwin used is probably quite old and needs 
updating to work with modern versions of Windows.

See: https://cygwin.com/faq.html#faq.using.fixing-find_fast_cwd-warnings

I'm afraid that we can't support that here. You need to contact the 
supplier of the Hexiom solver and ask them to rebuild using a newer 
version of Cygwin. Failing that, you could compile your own version 
using the instructions at the top of this file:
