DBG Having internal problems on Win7

[Terry Cross]

I am attempting to develop a program in C. Visual Studio encounters 
errors in Microsoft's own libraries with the version I am using, so that 
looks like the long path to project success.

So this is a fresh install of 64-bit Cygwin on a 64-bit Win7 platform.  
Using the Cygwin bash terminal, I have the following experience when I 
attempt to use DBG on a program I have freshly compiled with GCC:

Has anyone else experienced this problem?  Does this information offer 
any clue that I am making an error?

Thanks for any ideas.
