That would be in the cygwin distribution. In later snapshots it's called
"winerror.h. If you grep for "ERROR_" you should be able to find the
correct file, whatever it is called.

Error 87 is "INVALID_PARAMETER". I'm not sure why this is happening,
unfortunately.

Sorry. I don't know anything about the search engine. Possibly sending
email to sourcemaster@cygnus.com might help.
If you want to debug this, you could grab a precompiled version of gdb from
ftp://ftp.xraylith.wisc.edu/pub/khan/gnu-win32/cygwin/ports/
possibly, that would work better.
