And Cygwin works like a charm. I have no clue what's the big difference between the two. I tried Version 6.0 (Build 6001: Service Pack 1, v.275) and Cygwin works. (Probably RC0) I tried Version 6.0 (Build 6001: Service Pack 1, v.667) and Cygwin fails. (RC1) I also think it is a bug that will hopefully go away soon.
