Probably a clash of the cygwin1.dll DLLs after you installed cygwin.

I think gmsh (and getdp) comes with its own cygwin DLL and it should work 
alright if it is in the same directory; ie, gmsh uses it own cygwin DLL before 
it searchs for the system-wide DLL from cygwin.

Maybe you can check your setup as to the search priority.
