I'd suggest reporting it to whomever built the cygwin version you're using.
Cygwin is a really strange thing. It pretends it's *NIX and makes
programs that are running on Windows think they're running on *NIX, so
they try to do *NIX-y things, but they fail because at the bottom of
the stack, it's still Windows.
If you can at all avoid using Cygwin, do so. Many of the GNU
command-line programs (grep, sed, awk, wc, more, et. al.) have been
ported to native Win32 and work great.
