I mentioned explicitly that disabling TS does *not* help. It helps to deinstall TS. Or, much simpler, disable DEP globally or for the affected applications. Since there are so many apps in Cygwin disabling DEP globally is much easier. I opened a support case at Microsoft but it looks like they are not at all interested to fix this bug, even though I could *prove* that the problem occurs in one of their own DLLs. The reason is that, even though the OS is the culprit, it's *only* a third-party product which is affected. Wow. There doesn't seem to be any reason to purchase any more MSDN subscription if that's all you get for your money.
