  This is a http://cygwin.com/acronyms#WAG, but have you got CYGWIN=server set
in your environment, and are you running the cygserver?  That's a pretty
common cause of "Bad system call" errors.

  Of course, I would already have known the answer to those two questions if
you had sent your cygcheck output as an attachment, like it says at
http://cygwin.com/problems.html !


    cheers,
