It's not your typical Flash error of death, but it is just as frustrating.
Steps adhered to:
1. Install tinyos-1.1.0 with cygwin, etc. (typical installation)
2. Try programming mica2 with Blink - works fine.
2. Upgrade Cygwin with the latest setup file from www.cygwin.com
3. Upgrade nesc to nesc-1.1.2b ...
4. Upgrade tinyos to tinyos-1.1.10Jan2005cvs-1.cygwin.noarch
5. Try programming a mica2 mote with Blink:
Result:
$ MIB510=COM4 make mica2 install
compiling Blink to a mica2 binary
ncc -o build/mica2/main.exe -Os -board=micasb -target=mica2 -Wall
-Wshadow -DDE
F_TOS_AM_GROUP=0x7d -Wnesc-all -finline-limit=100000

At this point the programmer LED (red) glows and then nothing. Cygwin and
the programmer board maintain this state until I hit ctrl+c to stop the
process.
I tried installing tinyos-1.1.10 without upgrading cygwin, but it gave me
the "__getreent" error.
I tried installing the cygwin upgrade given on the tinyos.net/download
page. No luck.
I tried changing the programmer (to another MIB510). No luck there either.
Different mote, same problem.
Please help. Do I need to use a different version of cygwin or tinyos? I
need to use the tinyos-1.1.10 version as it is the recommended version for
programming the Cricket series of motes.

Extraneous info:
I added a PCI card to add 4 serial ports to my PC which came with none
(NetMos Quad ports: PCI NM9845CV). The drivers for this were good and I've
tried the ports with MATLAB, LabVIEW, Hyperlink etc. No problems there.
Ports are installed properly. Com4 is the first port on this card.
