Yes I found it but it is neither of my suppositions as to the Start command or the 
login program.  Turns out it is my CYGWIN setting in my Cygwin.bat file.  This 
post is to simply clear this thread for future seekers.

Turns out my CYGWIN variable has always been set to:

CYGWIN=binmode ntsec nostrip_title title tty

and I just never thought about it.  I like seeing the tty0 and tty1 and so on as 
opposed to console.  What I discovered was that if I leave the tty setting on 
CYGWIN then in bash my mythread_simple program has problems.  Leave my cygwin.bat 
and my start commands alone and simply remove the tty from CYGWIN :

CYGWIN=binmode ntsec nostrip_title title

and my mythread_simple works as expected.

Problem solved - thanks Alex for confirming it should run.
