a2ps on Cygwin quietly exits with code 127 on Windows 7


Greetings.

I have a new Windows-7 machine and one of the first things I downloaded was Cygwin, making sure to include a2ps and ps2pdf.

Unlike the flawless running (after diddling $HOME/.a2ps/a2psrc) I had under my previous XP box, This one is misbehaving: It does nothing visible, even for a2ps --version. Observe:
+--------------------------------+
| Jake@Maxwell ~$ a2ps --version |
| Jake@Maxwell ~$ echo $? |
| 127 |
+--------------------------------+


Error 127?  What's wrong?  According to errno.h:
#define EISCONN 127     /* Socket is already connected */

I already know from the cygwin setup that this is a2ps release 4.13.

Has a2ps gotten too smart and started messing with sockets? if so, is there an option in a2psrc I can mess with to make remove this obstruction?

Thanks for any useful advice here.

Note: If I could have found a forum on a2ps alone I would have posted this there.
