Problem with Git in Cygwin on x86-64 platform

Problem with Git in Cygwin on x86-64 platform

[Tim O'Callaghan]

When running a 'make test' under cygwin on my 64bit machine, and got
the output below. The reason i cite the 64bit cygwin platform being a
difference is that i have run 'make test' on the exact same codebase
on a 32 bit machine. The only difference in compile environment is
that the cygwin install on the 64 bit machine is as of today, and the
32 bit machine was about three days ago.

Any ideas on how to start tracking this one down?

Start by going into git/t and running "./t0000-basic.sh -d -v"

I usually do "cd t && sh -x that-test -i -v".
