Yes. And this has come up on the lists before. The short answer is that it is unacceptable to pop up a modal dialog box when executing a non-interactive shell script, so cygwin intentionally requests Windows to not pop up the dialog. At which point, all you are left with in the case of a missing .dll dependency, is cygwin interpreting the Windows error exit status, which turns out to be status 53. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
