Vijay,

Please (re)read <http://cygwin.com/problems.html>, especially the part
about attaching (as an uncompressed text *attachment*) the output of
"cygcheck -svr".  FYI, you must be using the earlier version of g++ as
well, since g++ 3.2 complains on compiling your program (you need to
insert "using namespace std;" before main() for it to compile).

FWIW, your program works just fine on Cygwin 1.5.3-1 (as a datapoint).  I
didn't install 1.5.4 yet, so can't try reproducing it there.
