Several tests fail on Cygwin

Hi

I am running the tests (nightly zip from 18. January 05) under Cygwin (setup
from the same date). I get failures in: 
stage
project_dependencies
searched_lib
regression 
Executing this test gives a popUp, saying that r.exe cannot be started:
missing helper.dll. Here I am completly lost, and do not know how to
continue tu debug.
library_order

Stage: I think the stage test must fail on Cygwin (and/or NT) as a file
"a.myexe" would not be recognised as a valid EXE-file name under Windows.
Therefore I tried to change line 112 of stage.py to
> if os.uname()[0].lower().startswith('cygwin'):
> t.expect_modification("dist/a.exe")
>else:
> t.expect_addition("dist/a.myexe")

But then I get the following error
$ python stage.py
"['/cygdrive/c/downloads/boost-build/test/../jam_src/bin.cygwinx86/bjam',
-sBOOST_BUILD_PATH=/cygdrive/c/downloads/boost-build/test', '-d0','--quiet',
'a2', '
gcc']" returned 1

(line 170 of stage.py is t.run_build_system("a2"))

How can I debug this error? Are the some tricks to compare failures of known
good runs under other setups?
