Odd perl 5.8.0 error

All of a sudden a Perl script of mine that has been working fine for a 
long time stopped working. I've traced it down to the following line in 
Perl:

my $nbr_msgs = `grep -ce "^From " "$returned_dir/$sender"`;

Seems innocent enough right? Here's the error message:

C:\Cygwin\bin\perl.exe: *** couldn't release memory 0x9D4000(1032192) 
for 'C:\Cygwin\lib\perl5\5.8.0\cygwin-multi-64int\auto\Fcntl\Fcntl.dll' 
alignment, Win32 error 487

     13 [main] perl 1040 sync_with_child: child 5780(0x648) died before 
initialization with status code 0x1

I searched winerror.h to find;

#define ERROR_INVALID_ADDRESS 487L

Any ideas?
