The following works for me
(cygwin kernel version 1.3.17-1, W2k, Acroread 5.0.1 3/27/2001)
$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.0 KHELDAR 1.3.17(0.67/3/2) 2002-11-27 18:54 i686 unknown

---- in ~/.bashrc (ignore stupid mailer-induced linewrap) ----
function pdfv ()
{
     cygstart /d/Program\ Files/Adobe/Acrobat\ 5.0/Reader/AcroRd32.exe 
\"`cygpath -w -a $1`\" &
}

BTW, I don't see anything in your drwatson dump that implicates 
cygstart.  Everything on the stack seems to be inside windows DLLs.
Any comments, Michael?
