Wait, so the released version works, but the snapshot doesn't?

Do you have any network drives in your $PATH?  I seem to recall someone
else had problems with a network drive being slow causing problems

Hmmm... Well, I guess the only thing to do is run strace, make it fail
and send us the trace.

As Larry already responded (no and no), I'll just add that you should
make sure you stop and restart any cygwin services too.
