I just fixed another problem in libgui.c which also resulted in the "silent
exit" behavior.  I'm waiting for approval on the checkin now.  I should have
this checked in shortly.

Unfortunately, insight has always had only minimal ability to recognize
Cygwin paths.  This is due to the fact that the tcl and tk DLLs are 98%
pure Windows and only the bare minimum support for cygwin paths required
to search for things like init.tcl, etc.
