I am still baffled why the same source runs fine for gfortran and g95. Notice however that for these compilers, the _date_ and _time_ functions are not defined. Hence the preprocessor exclusion in the source.

Taking cygwin out of the loop, time_ifort.exe behaves correctly in cmd.

In another post to this thread, Tim Prince mentionse that ifort bypasses 
the cygwin dll entirely. If time_ifort.exe is independent of cygwin, I 
would expect identical behavior for cmd and cygwin bash. But in cmd, it 
works as intended, whereas in cygwin it doesn't. I am baffled.

Thanks for your effort.
