Are you running Cygwin with binary mode mounts or did you change the 
default to text?  Send in the output of the "mount" command run in a 
Cygwin bash shell.  I would suspect that SNNS expects UNIX-style 
end-of-line characters and would thus be confused by DOS-style 
end-of-line characters.  Poor coding could lead to a crash as well.
