And based on traffic on this list, those reasons are usually due to buggy
or invasive drivers that inject threads into all windows programs,
interfering with cygwin's ability to map memory properly as it emulates
forks.  Try disabling your logitech webcam driver or mcafee virus scanner
(those tend to be the two biggest culprits, although there are others),
and see if it makes a difference.

You may want to try using the cygwin perl instead of ActivePerl; that may
be contributing to your issue, as ActivePerl does not respond as well to
cygwin forks.

You may want to consider an upgrade.
