(Perhaps you can just attach the output of cygcheck, following there directions here: http://cygwin.com/problems.html) If you are using the latest version, can you try the scripts mentioned above? If they work but you still see a problem, it would be very helpful if you could modify one of them to reproduce the problem you're seeing.

Thanks David - looks like I missed the crucial step of seeing if there was a new version.  My local machine didn't show the problem and is at the same version as the build server:

  My machine:   CYGWIN_NT-5.1 mowgli 1.7.1(0.218/5/3) 2009-12-07 11:48 i686 Cygwin
  Build server: CYGWIN_NT-5.2-WOW64 pappylion1 1.7.1(0.218/5/3) 2009-12-07 11:48 i686 Cygwin

I guess I was just assuming that because they were the same that they were both up-to-date, and that the problem was related to the 64-bit version or something.  I will update both 1.7.2 and see what happens.  Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
