I was about to comment similarly, but I was observing that it sounds like non-Cygwin processes were being spawned (or doing the spawning). So, a couple of things: 1) Try sending the output of cygcheck -s. It sounds like this is going to be a problem, so at least report the output of echo $PATH. 2) If the wrong executables are being launched, putting /bin and /usr/bin at the end of PATH isn't going to help, but putting them at the front will (export PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:$PATH).
