OK.  GDB log attached.  Uncaught Exception caused by "URL Scheme not 
registered."
I could maybe catch more if you made it an unstripped "-ggdb3" build, 
and wrapped the source with it.
I downloaded the .tar.bz2 file, which is probably meant to be the 
source.  However, bunzip2 says it is not a (valid) bzip2 file.
In my experience, this is often caused by the server passing an 
incorrect MIME type from which the http download module of my browser 
(Mozilla Firefox) infers incorrectly that the file is text.

I think my Cygcheck log was previously uploaded, but just in case . . . .
