Lilypond crash on Windows 98 SE.

[Jonathan Scott]

I just installed Lilypond 2.0.1 on Windows 98 SE.  The cygwin install 
process downloaded about 52MB and installed OK and I didn't see 
anything wrong.  However, when I try to run the sample, it crashes.
I guess this could be a cygwin problem rather than LilyPond itself
but as I know nothing about cygwin (and very little about the
Unix environment in general) I can't say for sure.  A search on
Google for similar symptoms hasn't given me much of a clue.
 
The file test.log contains the following:

Can you please offer me any advice?
