XEmacs on cygwin wierdness

I've tried to build XEmacs-21.2.36 multiple times tonight.  Each time,
it works perfectly as long as I launch it from with a cygwin-bash
window.  However, if I launch it from the DOS cmd prompt, it stackdumps.

Can anyone think of an explanation for this?  I configured using:

./configure
--site-includes=/usr/include:/usr/local/include:/usr/X11R6/include 
--site-libraries=/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/X11R6/lib
--error-checking=none 
--prefix=/usr/local --without-x11 

plus every combination of xpm library, ncurses library (with, without,
dynamic link, static link...) that I could think of.  In EVERY case,
they work fine when launched from a bash shell, but stackdump when
launched from dos cmd prompt.

plus the following

--with-ncurses --> libncurses (recent dll release)
  (with xpm)   --> libXpm-noX (recent dll release, non-Xserver)

--with-ncurses --> libncurses (recent dll release)
  (with xpm)   --> libXpm-X   (recent dll release, Xserver required)

--with-ncurses --> libncurses (recent dll release)
  (with xpm)   --> libXpm-noX (recent static release, non-Xserver) 

--with-ncurses --> libncurses (recent dll release)
  (with xpm)   --> libXpm-X   (recent static release, Xserver required)
  (note, had to explicitly add -lX11 to the link line since I had used
"--without-x11"; however, when linking with the dynamic libXpm those
dependencies were handled automagically)

--without-tty  --> no ncurses 
  (with xpm)   --> libXpm-noX (recent dll release, non-Xserver)
  (note, had to explicitly add 'event-unixoid.o' to the dependency list
in src/GNUmakefile in this case.

--with-ncurses --> libncurses (recent dll release)
  (with xpm)   --> /usr/X11R6/bin/libXpm.dll from cygwin-X11 release

--with-ncurses --> libncurses (recent dll release)
  (no xpm, even removed it from /usr/lib so it wouldn't link)

--without-tty  --> no ncurses
  (no xpm, even removed it from /usr/lib so it wouldn't link)
  (had to explicitly add event-unixoid.o again)
