I downloaded the precompiled binaries and tried them, but I get the same behavior. This is starting to look like a CYGWIN problem. How up-to-date is your CYGWIN installation? I assume that you are not experiencing the same problem. Any suggestions at this point?

I'll have to try this when I get to work. I'm working from home today,
and don't have access to a Cygwin machine.

I've had problems mostly on my Cygwin box, and one of my Mac boxes,
and attributed it to a bad compiler.

But, now that you mention it, the one Mac that I have problems with is
the dual core one. This hasn't been happening as much. Which compilers
are you using?
