Doen't look like the issue 
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2009-11/msg00174.html to me.

My guess: It's the old checkX-problem again because you're using version 
0.3.0-1 of the run2-package. Do to some reason unknown to me, that's the 
default version. But we need 0.3.1-1, which you only get when explicitely 
(triple-)clicking its circular double-arrow (how's that thingy called BTW?) 
in the Utils category.

Maybe Chuck can tell why we don't get the new version as default.
