You may be able to get a usable workaround by changing how it's called (see the thread above for ideas).This sounds suspiciously similar to a problem that hit me a while back: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2010-09/msg00225.html
The short version is, running certain apps in the background triggers a bug in tty handling. Last I heard Corinna was having trouble diagnosing because the bug also kills strace :)
No fix yet AFAIK.I was afraid of that. It just started happening for me after upgrading to cygwin 1.7, as well as to others in my company.
