    Jeremy,
    
    I am afraid that what you see is not expected behavior, but does not 
    appear to be the fault of anything you did.  In response to your report, 
    I've built Berkeley UPC on my Vista+Cygwin laptop and experienced errors 
    similar to yours.  I have created a bug report to track this issue:
        http://upc-bugs.lbl.gov/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2305
    You can follow that link and add yourself to the bug's CC: list if you 
    wish to receive e-mail when any progress is made on the bug.
    
    For now, I am going to assume that Vista (or Cygwin on Vista) is at fault.
    
    -Paul
