Anand,

Generally, a good first step to solving Cygwin problems is searching the
mailing list archives to see if someone else has encountered the same
problem before.  As it turns out, there have been messages about this
problem (and a fix) posted within the past month, which can be easily
retrieved by typing "Can't create title mutex" into the search field at
<http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-01/>.

As a secondary point, please *attach* the cygcheck output instead of
pasting it into the body of your message.  If you did attach it, please
check that your mailer doesn't have a "text attachments inline" option
set.
	Igor
