Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported failure on Cygwin with spawn-default-shell, then compare it with Node.js native child_process.spawn. Use the attached screenshots as the observed behavior and verify that shell commands spawn successfully on Cygwin without regressing the default-shell behavior on supported platforms.
