awk using program files

Hello,
I have a question on the most recent release of cygwin:  when using awk with
a program file, awk seems to have trouble reading past the first new line in
the program file.  If t.awk contains:
	{
		print $0
	}
then the command awk -f t.awk <file> generates an error message in the first
line.  The message indicates that awk is having difficulty with the
character immediately after the first curly bracket.

Perhaps I did not install correctly.  Does anyone else have this problem?
Thoughts on what to do?
Thanks in advance.
Jim Johnson
