You have to explain your setup a bit more. What part of Nutcracker are
you using? If it's runtime, Nutcraker is not known to be compatible
with Cygwin, so the issue becomes moot. Unlike the Unix or VMS world,
the various windows32 runtimes are simply not compatible, and you
can't mix and match. You can't do that with even MS's own incompatible
runtimes -- crtdll and msvcrt -- let alone "foreign" ones such as
Cygwin, UWIN, etc.

This is all correct for Cygwin, and so unless you can provide a testcase
(not for Nutcracker please, but for Cygwin), it'll be hard to figure out
what is wrong.
