*When* do you get this error message?  When you type 'M-x shell'?
What version of Emacs?  Have you installed *all* of Cygwin from
setup.exe or did you pick-and-choose (thus possibly missing
something)?

Where did you get the advice for this:

	(setenv "PID" nil)

and what is it supposed to achieve?  I've never seen it before.  I'd
like to know, as I maintain the FAQ entry "How do I run bash as a
shell under NT Emacs?"

Except for that line, these are the same settings I have in my .emacs,
and I have no difficulty with 'M-x shell'.  Mine is emacs-20.7.1, on
WinNT 4.0.

Thanks for your help.

Regards,
David
