WFM.

Exit 127 often means "command not found".  Are you sure that notepad is
in your path?  That doesn't explain why you didn't get an actual error
though.

strace is a cygwin thing.  It doesn't work on non-cygwin programs like
notepad.

It might be useful to do something like:

strace -o strace.out bash -c notepad

however.

You need to provide more details.  I'm assuming from the prompt that
you are using bash but assuming is not the best way to diagnose
problems.

Please, at the very least provide the cygcheck output that we
always ask for whether this is Cygwin 1.5 or 1.7.
