cygwin 1.7.5, perl *** fatal error TP_NUM_W_BUFS too smal

[nma at 12000 dot org]

Hello,

SUMMARY:

I installed cygwin 1.7.5 on windows 7 (64 bit OS), and when I run some  
command which uses perl, I get the following error:

0 [main] perl 2528 C:\cygwin\bin\perl.exe: *** fatal error - Internal  
error: TP_NUM_W_BUFS too small.


DETAILS:

I installed cygwin, all of it on windows 7, 64 bit os.
All went ok.

Then I installed latex2html, and I am trying to use latex2html under  
cygwin, which uses perl. (latex2hml is a PERL script)

When I run latex2html command on some latex file, I get many of the  
above errors each time perl is called:

Converting image #2

Error while converting image

I also was wondering, it it would be possible to a use windows  
perl.exe installation that I have from withing cygwin?

thanks
