In your earlier reply, you said that you used the latest cygwin from CVS and 
that is not what I am using.  I am using the cygwin that installs after 
running setup-1.7.exe on the web site.  I don't know if they are the same. 
I do know that the one I am using has this problem as I have reproduced it 
far too many times.

By the way, when I try to build it from CVS, I get the following:
