I have attached the cygcheck file and a short program that I have copied
from a tutorial online. I am compiling it as shown here:

gcc shm_write.c -o shm_write

There are no errors or warnings when I compile, but whenI go to run, it
says "Bad system call".

Thanks for the help.
Uh-huh.  You don't have "server" in your CYGWIN environment variable.
Try running your program as "CYGWIN=server ./shm_write".  Please re-read
/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/cygserver.README for more details.
