Subject: Problem with crontab -e: tabs aren't getting installed

I've recently installed Cygwin on a Windows 2000 Pro machine.  Installation 
was done under a user account.  I tried to install a cron job by running:

EDITOR=emacs crontab -e 

After reading through the mailing lists on a similar problem, I remembered 
to set the variable 'make-backup-files' to nil, and verified that the inum 
for the temporary file remained unchanged after saving the file.  However, 
when I exit out of emacs, nothing happens.  It returns to the bash prompt 
with no messages.  According to crontab -l, the table was not installed. 

Any other ideas what could be wrong?
