I have seen very similar effects on my Win7-64 box. I can force the
problem here just be running "ccrypt", though, I do not need to use "make
-j4".

I assume it has to do with the Windows 64 bit problems of Cygwin (search
the ML archives for that).

For me, this is the first machine since years where I do not use Cygwin
because of this issue.

Best regards,
   Spiro.
