Spawnvp on pwd.exe and mkdir.exe fails

[Brian Kramer]

I have a simple C++ file I am using to spawn pwd.exe and mkdir.exe.  These are 
causing stackdumps.  Can anyone help me resolve this?  ls.exe does not cause a 
stackdump.

The same C++ file compiles using Visual Studio and the output is as expected.  

In particular on Windows:
pid=1996
/cygdrive/e/tempprojects/pwd/Debug
done

And under cygwin:
pid=5860
(pwd.exe.stackdump written)
done

Here's my program:

#include <process.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    char* argv[] = {"pwd.exe", 0};
    int pid = spawnvp( _P_NOWAIT, argv[0], argv );
    printf("pid=%d\n",pid);

    int termstat;
    cwait( &termstat, pid, WAIT_CHILD );
    printf("done\n");

    return 0;       
}
