Hi Martin,

Actually, I just investigated the problem in the libs and did not
check the python exe source code.

I guess you are right, this looks more like an issue from cygwin.

I was a bit irritated by hours of debugging when entering the bug, 
and also tired of thinking it seems :)

Regards,

Antoine
