I can't reproduce the error box, but I could reproduce the hang.
I think I've tracked it down to a permission problem when creating
a pipe after starting the new process under another, non-privileged
user account. I've applied a patch which solved the zsh hang for
me. Please try the latest snapshot (2005-Jun-21) from
http://cygwin.com/snapshots/.
[Oh and, please ignore the fact that the tar archives of the latest
snapshot is different from all other snapshots. Thanks.]
