I had figured that out eventually as well. They are just 'sourced'. The issue seems to come from the fact that my installation is getting "Bad address" on certain file accesses. And in the this thread it appears to be related to running on 64 bit hardware even when using 32 bit mode: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2010-01/msg00933.html And as I said we are running Windows 2003 DATACENTER R2 WOW64 as shown in the cygcheck output I attached to a previous posting. So it appears that if this "Bad address" problem was fixed that apparently there are still some places where it occurs and I'd like to find out from the Cygwin developers what we can do to work around the issue or if they could fix the problem.
