  Two things to try: first, cut down your path, from this ...

Path:	C:\cygwin\usr\local\bin
	C:\cygwin\bin
	C:\cygwin\bin
	C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin
	c:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\
	c:\OIS\ORBexpress\RT_2.6.4_PATCH_G1P\host\x86-winnt\bin
	c:\OIS\ORBexpress\
	c:\WINDOWS\system32
	c:\WINDOWS
	c:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem
	c:\IBM\hcppc\bin
	c:\WINDOWS\MsNfs\
	C:\cygwin\bin
	c:\Qt\4.3.3\bin
	c:\MinGW\bin
	c:\WINDOWS\System32
	c:\Program Files\doxygen\bin
	c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\Tools\WinNT
	c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\MSDev98\Bin
	c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\Tools
	c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\bin

... to this ...

Path:	C:\cygwin\usr\local\bin
	C:\cygwin\bin
	C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin
	c:\WINDOWS\system32
	c:\WINDOWS
	c:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem

.. and see if it makes the problem go away.  Second, have you been through
the rebaseall[*] procedure yet?


    cheers,
      DaveK

[*] - Install the rebase package using setup.exe, read the readme in
/usr/share/doc/Cygwin, stop all cygwin servers and services and exit all
cygwin shells and applications, finally run rebaseall in ash launched from a
DOS prompt.
