Spawnvp on pwd.exe and mkdir.exe fails

- Subject: Spawnvp on pwd.exe and mkdir.exe fails
I have a simple C++ file I am using to spawn pwd.exe and mkdir.exe. These are
causing stackdumps. Can anyone help me resolve this? ls.exe does not cause a
stackdump.
The same C++ file compiles using Visual Studio and the output is as expected.
In particular on Windows:
pid=1996
/cygdrive/e/tempprojects/pwd/Debug
done
And under cygwin:
pid=5860
(pwd.exe.stackdump written)
done
Here's my program:
#include <process.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
char* argv[] = {"pwd.exe", 0};
int pid = spawnvp( _P_NOWAIT, argv[0], argv );
printf("pid=%d\n",pid);
int termstat;
cwait( &termstat, pid, WAIT_CHILD );
printf("done\n");
return 0;
}
