Do you need me to try and capture a stripped down test-case and strace of 
what emacs is doing?  My particular workflow where I noticed it was using 
emacs' version-control hooks to query ClearCase for the current state of a 
checked out file, so emacs is trying to parse the stdout of the non-cygwin 
app, and I'm not sure whether it is redirecting the stdin from /dev/null.
