I'd run up gdb or similar and single step your application to find out
where these errors are being caused. 

Basically error 105 is ENOBUFS, which as it states is 'No buffer space
available'. This it seems is something that Cygwin is throwing back from
the kernel to the Xserver.

Are you running the latest cygwin ? 1.3.3 ?
