Although this is almost certainly a cygwin bug, from the user's 
perspective it looks like a bzr failure.  This probably discourages a 
number of first time Bazaar users on windows - some to the point of 
giving up entirely on Bazaar. 

Is there be any way to do *something* more immediate to help a 
cygwin/bzr user who sees this problem?  Maybe the cygwin bug can be 
coded around.  If not, could the error message be changed to give some 
direction regarding what the user can do to work around the problem?
