This never works, even in any other directory. It's the same problem which disallows checkX to work, as reported in http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2013-07/msg00326.html The cause is an optimization when calling cygwin executables. So far, Cygwin executables got their arguments via mmeory copy as well as via the single-line cmdline argument of CreateProcess. We removed the latter since it was never meant to work that way in the first place. Unfortunately it turns out that run/run2/checkX are Cygwin executables which don't have a main routine, but rather a WinMain routine. The latter has a single cmdline argument, which is generated via GetCommandLine(). But since Cygwin executables get no single-line command line anymore, this stopped working.
