Actually it is not off-topic.  From the error message that cgf clipped:

  System.ArgumentException: Item has already been added. Key in dictionary: 'tmp' Key being added: 'tmp'
  <cut>
  at System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer..ctor(Type type)

If you read the thread at
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2012-03/msg00375.html , you will see that
the dokan sshfs tool is crashing while apparently attempting to
process the environment variables setup by Cygwin.  The environment
contains both 'tmp' and 'Tmp' environment variables which is OK in a
*nix context but not expected by Windows applications.

Any .NET application running on a stock Cygwin installation that uses
XmlSerializer will get bit by this bear trap.

One solution is to upgrade to base-files-4.1-2.  The other is to write
a wrapper program that cleans up the environment before calling the
dokan sshfs GUI tool.
