Known bug (well, at least to me... this is the first time I've mentioned it
on the lists).

Yep, unrelated.

It means exactly what it says: the output was garbled and no string beginning
"uid=" was found in that output. If you add printfs in the cygcheck source,
you'll see no output was received at all.

I've experienced the same problem on 1.7.0; something doesn't quite work
right when a win32 program like cygcheck uses msvcrt's popen() to read the
output from a cygwin program. Didn't have time to look into it yet.
