No, it is the cygwin emacs.
``run emacs'' fails with
12 [main] emacs 900 C:\cygwin\bin\emacs.exe: *** fatal error -
internal error reading the windows environment --
too many environment variables?
but when run as ``emacs'' from an xterm it works fine. What I first
noticed is that it fails silently when launched from a shortcut that
calls ``run emacs'', so I tried that from the xterm to see what was
going on.
I will be surprised if I turn out to be the only one this affects, as
it occurs on two separate machines, one upgraded, the other
re-installed fresh. (Perhaps not so many people launch emacs from a
shortcut.)
