I can't reproduce the error box, but I could reproduce the hang. I think I've tracked it down to a permission problem when creating a pipe after starting the new process under another, non-privileged user account. I've applied a patch which solved the zsh hang for me. Please try the latest snapshot (2005-Jun-21) from http://cygwin.com/snapshots/. [Oh and, please ignore the fact that the tar archives of the latest snapshot is different from all other snapshots.
