The bug was found and fixed, and a new Cygutils version which includes 
this fix will hopefully be released soon.
(If you can't wait, feel free to either build a new version yourself 
with the patch, or download an executable from 
<http://www.mscha.net/tmp/cygstart.exe>.)

Note that this version will work fine in the latest snapshot 
(2006-12-11), but not in the version you were using when you originally 
reported the problem (2006-11-30), though.

Thanks for reporting this,

 - Michael
