We prefer the term "gifted" to "special".

But, seriously, there is no simple answer to your question.  Cygwin
obviously manages to start all manner of normal Windows programs.  It
uses the standard Windows API to accomplish this so there is no way to
know why ClearCase would not be reacting well without quite a bit of
code investigation and, possibly, without help from ClearCase
themselves.
