At one time it was recommended to disable a Cygwin feature, something like this: alias cgdb="env CYGWIN=disable_pcon cgdb" Not sure if this is still necesary.
Thank you for the reminder about that. I had forgotten - however ion my main Windows machine I have the CYGWIN variable set like that all the time and in the VM that I tried with it is not - and in both cases cgdb seems to behave well on the slightly old version of the cygwin package but failed with the latest. So I do not think that is the issue here and I might live advice as to whether I can now remove that setting of CYGWIN!
