Well, I use cygwin to get all the typical unixy tools. But, it seems 
that context (and ruby) do not like cygwin. I need to do some more 
testing to see exactly what was interfering, but removing cygwin from 
the path seems to do the trick.

Usually I get along well with cygwin. This is the first time that 
cygwin has bitten me back.
