I've done this with 1.7.10 still in place, once with portapps user
(the failure case), and with my own regular (domain) user. Comparing
the two outputs, there is an obvious ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED error in the
failure case:

   69  126706 [main] sh 3824 build_env: envp 0x61266AB4, envc 47
   37  126743 [main] sh 3824 child_info::child_info: subproc_ready 0x234
  589  127332 [main] sh 3824 seterrno_from_win_error:
/netrel/src/cygwin-snapshot-20111219-1/winsup/cygwin/spawn.cc:692
windows error 5
   59  127391 [main] sh 3824 geterrno_from_win_error: windows error 5 ==
errno 13
   74  127465 [main] sh 3824 child_info_spawn::worker: CreateProcess
failed, Win32 error 5
  196  127661 [main] sh 3824 stat64: entering

Any further hints?

Regards,
Shaddy
