OK, I think we've found your problem. You've got a years-old version of the
cygwin dll in the windows system directory and it's almost certainly clashing
with the up-to-date one and causing your programs to crash. Get rid of it and
hopefully everything should "just work (TM)"!
Also, your /etc/groups file isn't up-to-date:
-----------------<quote>-----------------
Output from H:\windows\bin\id.exe (nontsec)
UID: 13004(gsohler) GID: 10545(mkgroup-l-d)
545(Users) 10545(mkgroup-l-d)

UID: 13004(gsohler) GID: 10545(mkgroup-l-d)
545(Users) 10545(mkgroup-l-d)
-----------------<quote>-----------------
Also, your mount entries are messed up:
-----------------<quote>-----------------
Warning: Mount entries should not have a trailing (back)slash
H:\windows\ / user binmode
H:\windows\/bin /usr/bin user binmode
H:\windows\/lib /usr/lib user binmode
. /cygdrive user binmode,cygdrive
-----------------<quote>-----------------
Those are supposed to be win32 paths, and they're not supposed to used mixed
slashes like that. You could fix them by running
mount -u -b H:\\windows /
mount -u -b H:\\windows\\bin /usr/bin
mount -u -b H:\\windows\\lib /usr/lib
in a bash prompt.
However, the second two things are probably minor; it's the clashing DLL
that is almost certainly the real source of your troubles.
cheers,
DaveK
