	Good guess, but this isn't the problem, I created a cygwin.bat
	file which sets up my environment (including the CYGWIN variable)
	before starting my shell.

	I final did figure out the problem, and Earnie was correct, my
	CYGWIN variable was not being set correct.  In my batch file, I setting
	the CYGWIN variable in my batch file according to an example
	in the 1.0 manual, and it looked like:

SET CYGWIN="nontsec tty notitle binmode"

	However, when I got rid of the quotes:

SET CYGWIN=nontsec tty notitle binmode

	it started working as expected again.  So I'm guessing that
	the quotes made it one big string to the dll instead of
	four different strings.. :)

	Anyway, you guys might want to fix you're manual, as I'm sure
	I'm not the only one that will get confused over that example..

	Thanks for all the help.
