i reported this bug some time ago: ghostscript 7.05 does not work properly if cygwin is configured to enable textmode-conversations
chris faylor already suggested to link against binmode.o (i don't know if this is an easy step, but it sounds easy) the ghostscript-maintainer should take care of this "bug".
