You're seeing the same bug that was reported here
<http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2005-03/msg00342.html> and forwarded to
the newlib list here
<http://sourceware.org/ml/newlib/2005/msg00173.html>, currently with no
replies.  It's a newlib problem, so make noise over there.  I'm sure
they'd love a patch to fix it.  :)
