 I'm not sure cygwin1.dll is supposed to be used that way. Notice that
 the crash is happening not inside mono, but inside cygwin's system
 function.

+Regardless of this specific issue, p/invoking from cygwin is a bad
+idea, because cygwin is replacing Mono's SEH exception handler with
+its own, which leads to a crash after the first NullReferenceException.
+
+Try to p/invoke from msvcrt.dll instead.
