I can reproduce that.  I even patched the Cygwin DLL locally so that
SetErrorMode (SEM_FAILCRITICALERRORS) is called *again*, right before
calling CreateProcess, but the box still pops up on Vista (well, 2K8
in my test, actually).  Looks like a bug or "feature" in Vista/2K8.
I'll investigate further.


Thanks for the report,
Corinna
