  Bobby, your advice is no good.

#1:  That's the wrong environment variable.  You want to set CYGWIN to
contain, among any other options, the text
"error_start=D:\cygwin\bin\dumper.exe".  You told him to set
CYGWIN_error_start, which is a different variable altogether and not used by
cygwin.

#2:  Only when you have a program that is failing with SEGV or some other
kind of fatal exception.  If the program is executing and running to
completion, the error_start setting will never be used.

#3:  He was getting the errors before dumper.exe even came into it, so
setting it wrong couldn't have possible caused the errors.  Go back and read
his original post again.  The reason he is getting errors is because his
program is exiting with a non-zero return value.  It was not caused by
dumper.exe and it will not be diagnosable with dumper.exe.

    cheers,
