True, but, AFAIK, strace will simply return nothing for the apps that
aren't Cygwin-linked. When Cygwin1.dll is loaded dynamically via
LoadLibrary, strace will kick in, won't it? At least this happens when a
Cygwin program invokes a non-cygwin program that later invokes a Cygwin
one (e.g., "bash -c 'CMD.EXE /c c:\\cygwin\\bin\\ls'").
I suspect the above error is actually due to a PATH problem of some
sort...
