cygcheck -s segfaults in cygwin64 on Win7Pro-64

[John Wiersba]

Apparently not BLODA (plus I'm not running anything on the BLODA list).  


Instead, I found that COMSPEC needs to be set in the environment or I get a segfault as shown in my previous email below.  I don't know why that is, but I can easily demonstrate it.
