launching sh/bash from windows console (cmd) results in application Segmentation Faults

[Scott Mitchell]

Do you have the same problem with Cygwin 32 bits?  How about with
the current Cygwin package (1.7.28) with either 32 bits or 64?
I had no problem running this on 32-bits from W7 x64 with 1.7.28.

I still have the same problem when updating to cygwin64 to 1.7.28:
CYGWIN_NT-6.1 1.7.28(0.271/5/3) 2014-02-09 21:06 x86_64 Cygwin

I just installed cygwin32 and it works as expected (I have not seen
any problems yet)
CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW64 1.7.28(0.271/5/3) 2014-02-09 21:06 i686 Cygwin

I am not sure if the is relevant but the "C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe"
I have been using is a 32 bit executable as reported by cygwin:
$ file cmd.exe
cmd.exe: PE32 executable (console) Intel 80386, for MS Windows

I am not sure if this is an alternative and I don't have any
alternatives other than "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\cmd.exe" which is also
reported as 32 bit.

Any ideas or suggestions?
