Check out the 20050905 snapshot, instead, and notice that Chris added this
patch:
	* spawn.cc (av::fixup): Do win16 detection for .com files.  Make sure
	that buffer has been unmapped in all cases.

Your bug report has improved cygwin - thanks for the good work and
persistence!  There is no need to reinstall everything provided by
setup.exe, just download and unpack the cygwin1-20050905.dll.bz2 snapshot
to your normal cygwin\bin directory, then use Windows to rename it to
cygwin1.dll while there are no active cygwin processes.
