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.
