WJFFM.  You'll have to be more specific about the nature of your problem.

In particular, you should provide all of the information requested in the
Cygwin problem reporting guidelines at <http://cygwin.com/problems.html>.
When you do, please make sure to *attach* the output of "cygcheck -svr",
not include it inline.
