This sounds suspiciously like a pty issue. Please try the following:

From your normal bash prompt, type
    echo $CYGWIN

If 'tty' is there, then figure out why and remove it at the source
(Windows Environment tab, your ~/.bashrc, whereever it is currently
being set).  Then from a new bash prompt (launched after you make those
changes), try to run your app again.
