It seems that the problem is related to the use of fork() in cygwin, which is very fragile. I am considering various possibilities. The obvious one is to reuse the code in RUN-PROGRAM that we already have for Windows/Mingw+MSVC in the Cygwin builds. I am not sure how easy this is -- still investigating.
