Probably the easiest way to get feedback on whether this is a user error or
not is to send a STC <http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#STC> so that it's easy
for someone else to run your example and see the results.  It also would
clarify exactly what you're doing, so there's no guess-work involved. I'd
also recommend sending your 'cygcheck -s -r -v' output as requested by
<http://cygwin.com/problems.html>, if you haven't already as part of this
thread.
