4.6.0 does not work well on Windows/cygwin, although the reported
problem doesn't seem to be the same as the one you are facing.

See
http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/chicken-users/2010-09/msg00063.html
and http://bugs.call-cc.org/ticket/376 for more information.

Maybe you could give
http://code.call-cc.org/dev-snapshots/2010/09/14/chicken-4.6.1.tar.gz a
try to see if it works for you.

Best wishes.
Mario
