Hi Kai,

(Cc'ing you as I'm not sure you're signed up to the list.)

It looks like you're using WiTopia, which evidently uses some Cygwin 
applications under the covers. Your best bet is to contact WiTopia for 
support here; the people on this list will likely know nothing about how 
WiTopia uses Cygwin, so there is very little we can do.

If you do want to get support here, please take a look at the problem 
reporting guidelines at https://cygwin.com/problems.html. In particular, 
we need the `cygcheck -s -r -v` output, which tells us about your system 
configuration. If WiTopia haven't provided access to that utility, there 
is incredibly little we can do, so you will have to return to WiTopia 
for help.

It is probably also worth noting that, while WiTopia is a paid-for 
service, Cygwin is free, and the people on this mailing list are (with 
very few exceptions) volunteers. If you want paid-for support, as 
opposed to whatever the volunteers here decide to volunteer to look at, 
you should go hassle the people you're paying :)

Adam
