The code in Cygwin has already been repeatedly identified.

Possibly setting the CYGWIN environment variable to "noglob" might
cause things to work as desired.

See: https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-cygwinenv.html

Also remember that this environment variable has to be set before any
Cygwin program is run, i.e., from the CMD prompt or by setting the
environment variable globally via, e.g.,

Control Panel->System->Advanced system settings->Environment Variables
