You should first create a minimal, self-contained script which allows to reproduce the effect reliably on your machines. A really minimal script. Self-contained. So that everybody can run it to try to reproduce the effect without relying on your environment. Then you could try to change the versions of coreutils and gawk. At no point in this thread did you mention different Cygwin versions. Are you running 1.5.24 on all of them including your laptop? If so, there's no point in experimenting with different Cygwin DLLs. If you found the difference, you could send the observation here together with your really minimal, self-contained script, and a quick description what to do to reproduce the effect and how it can be observed.
