http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms681382(VS.85).aspx

ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE

  No, it's what you'd expect if you try and dup a handle that's already been
closed - an indication that the child exited prematurely.  This is one of
those semi-generic fork failures that could be BLODA, but another
possibility is that because this is a non-cygwin app being launched from
cygwin, it might be pulling in a dll that causes a rebase conflict.

  Following the rebaseall procedure described in the "Usage:" section of
/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/rebase-2.4.3.README might help as is, or it might be
necessary to find a list of the dlls being pulled in by the borland compiler
and rebase them too by adding a -T option pointing to a file that lists the
(cygwin-style posix) paths to the BC45 dlls.


    cheers,
