I can't reproduce the error box, but I could reproduce the hang.
I think I've tracked it down to a permission problem when creating
a pipe after starting the new process under another, non-privileged
user account.  I've applied a patch which solved the zsh hang for
me.  Please try the latest snapshot (2005-Jun-21) from
http://cygwin.com/snapshots/.

[Oh and, please ignore the fact that the tar archives of the latest
 snapshot is different from all other snapshots.  Thanks.]
