Your cygcheck output contains:
| Warning: There are multiple cygwin1.dlls on your path
|
| Potential app conflicts:
|
| ZoneAlarm Personal Firewall
| Detected: HKLM Registry Key.
so you probably ought to resolve those issues first.
Google shows that 'ibmfilter.sys' causes BSODs with many applications.
As a workaround, you might try rebooting into "safe mode" (to prevent
that driver from loading), then running the postinstall scripts in
that environment.
