Subject: Unable to produce core dumps

I am unable to get the dumper utility to produce a core dump.
My cygwin.bat startup file contains the following:

set CYGWIN=error_start=c:\cygwin\bin\dumper.bat

My dumper.bat file contains the following:

dumper.exe -d %1 %2 %3
pause

The program in question was compiled with the gcc -g option:

main() {
  int h;
  h = 1 / 0;
}

Upon execution I see the following in the cygwin console:

$ ./div.exe
      7 [main] div 2296 handle_exceptions: Error while dumping state (probably corrupted stack)
Arithmetic exception (core dumped)

In the cmd.exe console window that dumper.bat starts I see the following:

C:\cygwin\home\admin>dumper.exe -d C:/cygwin/home/jlambert/div.exe 1884
dumping process #1884 to div.exe.core
setting bfd architecture: No error

C:\cygwin\home\admin>pause
Press any key to continue . . .

Yet no .core file is produced anywhere.  
I have also tried using dumper.exe directly with the following setting with the same results.
  set CYGWIN=error_start=c:\cygwin\bin\dumper.exe

And I have verified that the process number above is correct.
What am I doing wrong?  

I am on the following release:
