Hi Jim,

This has come up a couple of times:
  <http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2009-12/msg00868.html>
  <http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2010-01/msg00056.html> (continued)
  <http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2007-12/msg00157.html>

Basically there's a 32 bit registry and a 64 bit one. chere uses the 32 
bit one. This works on 64 bit Windows 7, but not some others.

I thought I'd done a release fixing this. You can try the attached 
patch, which should make chere play with the appropriate registry.


Dave.
