I think the problem is in cygwin1.dll, which is printing out that message in
stdio_init()  in source file "winsup\cygwin\dtable.cc".  It's calling
DuplicateHandle() which apparently fails, and somehow the error causes
everything to exit. I couldnt find a corresponding function in the source
for cygwin 1.0.  I backed out to the cygwin 1.0 version of cygwin1.dll and
the message went away.
