Well, there's two possibilities:
1) You have a stray pointer or malloc bug (or one of various similar
problems) in your code, and it just happened to work and not crash by luck
on Unix; minor differences in process layout and environment cause the
underlying bug to be hidden in Unix and exposed in Cygwin.
2) You've found a bug or unimplemented feature in the cygwin api.
If you're mentioning structs, my guess is you're doing something wrong
with pointers or arrays. It's a very common thing in C.
cheers,
