There is no debug output from a child process which would show the CYGWIN
environment variable.

As I said, the CYGWIN environment variable is getting set for me.  I
don't know how to explain what you're seeing.

If I can't duplicate the problem, there is no way that I'll be able to
debug it.

This sounds similar to the problem that you reported before.

If you can figure out why it's happening, I'd be happy to try to rectify
the situation.  Setting a breakpoint in environ_init and inspecting the
passed-in environment block should provide some clue about what is
happening.
