NTVDM illegal instruction

[Michael Eager]

I'm getting pop-up error message from "16-bit MSDOS Subsystem"
which complains about "NTVDM illegal instruction" and gives 
CS:05d8, IP:0e9d, OP:ff620200 (none of which seems remarkably useful).
It also displays /usr/src/redhat/SPECS which is the current directory.

I'm running the latest version of Cygwin on NT2K, latest SR, on an 
Athlon processor.  The problem seems reproducable.  At the time I get
the error, there are several copies of bash running, as well as rpm,
cmd, make, and NTVDM.  

The MS website has a page on "Troubleshooting NTVDM and WOW Startup Errors",
( http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q196/4/53.ASP )
which I'll follow and see if it helps.  

Has anyone encountered similar problems?
