You can read and follow the Cygwin problem reporting guidelines at the
link below:

> Problem reports:       http://cygwin.com/problems.html

Please pay particular attention to the part about attaching the output of
"cygcheck -svr" to your message (as an uncompressed text *attachment*).
This will contain enough information about your system to allow diagnosing
the problem.

If I had to take a WAG based on the meager information you've already
supplied, you probably have one or more of your mounts set up as user, not
system.
