Yes, I'd opt for Shakespearean English:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/src
$ su
su: O lilliterate loiterer! 
Hence, horrible villain, or I'll spurn thine eyes like balls before
me; 
I'll unhair thy head, Thou shalt be whipp'd with wire, and stew'd'in
brine, 
smarting in lingering pickle.


:-)

Your Windows login name probably has a space in it. 
.  If that's not the case then
you're going to have to read  for
details on how to submit a problem report that has enough information
for anyone to help you, notably the part about cygcheck.
