Earnie,

Thanks for the tip.  Although this may be good advice in general,
a quick change to my path showed that it's not the cause of the
STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION I'm seeing.

I can see where having several versions of cygwin1.dll in the
path might be a problem, but can anyone comment on whether it
will be a problem in this case, where it's three copies of the
*same* cygwin1.dll (replicated via symlinks on the file server).
I've found this convenient to let people run Cygwin programs
from other directories (like /contrib/bin), although they may
not have /bin/cygwin1.dll in their path.

This may be an FAQ, but I didn't find any discussion of it in
*the* FAQ (http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/faq/faq.html)
Please let me know if I've overlooked something.
