By the way, a similar problem was reported with the old run.exe in 
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2009-07/msg00111.html, and the solution 
there was to set CYGWIN=tty.  But that was a different situation, 
because the OP was starting in the cygwin console.  I've tried setting 
CYGWIN=tty (using My Computer), and this doesn't make any difference.
