I have the same setup as you but all seems well here. With 1.4.16-3 installed all
four of your testcases work for me. I don't know what to suggest.
When you have a chance, what does 'echo $?' say at the prompt after cygstart
finishes one of your testcases? 0 means successful, 1 (or something else) means
failure.
