I have the same setup as you but all seems well here.  With 1.4.16-3 installed all 
four of your testcases work for me.  I don't know what to suggest.

When you have a chance, what does 'echo $?' say at the prompt after cygstart 
finishes one of your testcases?  0 means successful, 1 (or something else) means 
failure.
