Something is wrong with your cygwin environment.  Simple shell commands 
should not be aborting like that.  I'm suspecting that you are running 
into a case where cygwin's fork() is failing to remap dependent .dlls to 
the same address in the child as they were in the parent.  Do you need 
to rebase your cygwin .dlls, using the 'rebaseall' program?  Are you 
running with an interfering virus checker or other ill-behaved 
system-level code-injection application that interferes with cygwin 
operation?  You may be better off asking on the cygwin list for ideas 
how to diagnose and repair your installation.

Other than the known failures of 199 and 205 (because of the known 
cygwin bugs in named fifo handling), the remaining tests all pass for me 
under cygwin 1.7.7.
