From the main Cygwin project page:

  The Cygwin DLL currently works with all recent, commercially released x86
  32 bit and 64 bit versions of Windows, with the exception of Windows CE.

Sure.  There's allot of talk about this in the email archives.  It's
typically either a problem with DLL base load addresses colliding or
<http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#BLODA>.  The former is fixed by installing

that should help you.  It seems to be the more common cause of this
problem of late. ;-)
