crash on environment name beginning with non-ASCII char (64 bit)

If an environment variable is set in the Windows environment that has a 
name beginning with a non-ASCII character (e.g. "äx", value "test"),
initialising the 64-bit cygwin dll fails:
*** fatal error - internal error reading the windows environment - too 
many environment variables?
No problem with the 32-bit dll. Also 64-bit works e.g. with a variable 
name of "aäx".
