Cygwin uses the equivalent of SetUnhandledExceptionFilter for its own
purposes.  It can do that because there is no linux version of that
function.

So, if you attempt to use it in a cygwin-aware program, you're in for
problems.  If you need to produce pure windows programs, I'd suggest
http://mingw.org/ .  It doesn't seem like you need Cygwin for the
above.
