This is expected behavior.  awk is a cygwin link to gawk.
Use gawk instead.
Or, use perl.
Or, use bash instead of cmd.
Or copy gawk.exe to awk.exe.

Subject: 1.3.5: awk crashes in Windows 2000 cmd
I invoke cmd under Windows 2000 and I have D:\cygwin\bin in the PATH.
When I invoke awk, the NTVDM-CPU complains about an invalid instruction.
Invoking gawk directly works fine under cmd.
