A few things come to mind as possibilities to check, or try. First, there is a certain amount of magic that cygwin does to treat /bin/sh.exe and /bin/sh the same. What happens if you spawn /bin/sh.exe instead of /bin/sh? Second, what happens if you use spawnvp instead of spawnv? Although, from the strace excerpt it doesn't look like it's actually having trouble finding the executable, so those probably aren't it. Still, worth checking, perhaps. Third, are you certain you are NULL-terminating the array of arguments? If you aren't doing so explicitly, it is possible there happened to be a NULL pointer just after the arguments in memory for the 32-bit version, so it happened to work, but that didn't happen for the 64-bit version. The argv array must have a NULL at the end of it. Fourth, what are you passing to the mode parameter of spawnv? Or, fifth, I dunno what the problem is. Those are my only ideas. Good luck.
