We have such an an application that (after upgrading to the current 1.7.9-1 version of Cygwin) works OK if started from a mintty window, but crashes, with symptoms like 24 [main] gapw95 428 exception::handle: Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION 13628 [main] gapw95 428 open_stackdumpfile: Dumping stack trace to gapw95.exe.stackdump at startup when started from Windows command prompt. It used to work before the Cygwin 1.7 era.
