Hi John,
ok, thanks for the answer. So it doesn't seem to be a real bug. I
decided to go with the Cygwin version since this is what appeared to be
recommended in the download area.
Since the issue is definitely low, I am not sure right now it's worth
checking out the native windows version but thanks for the hint.
Ingo
