As Chris mentioned, you want to look for possible BLODA candidates.
As part of that search, you can try enabling detect_bloda in your
CYGWIN environment variable (see 
http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-cygwinenv.html#cygwinenv-implemented-options).

You might also try trimming everything from your path but the Windows
directories and see if that helps.  If so, you can use a search of
what's in your path to lead you to the BLODA.
