Here's what I learned using this approach. I had a header file named "con.h". 
Windows was interpreting the file name as the console device (CON:). This was 
also true for a file named "con.c". So, when the compiler attempted to 
read "con.h" Windows was redirecting input from the console (CON:). Entering 
an Windows EOF (^Z) followed by the enter key from the keyboard would 
terminate the file and the compiler would finish spitting the appropriate 
errors because of the empty file from the console.

I renamed the files to include an underscore (i.e. con.h became con_.h) and 
the build ran fine. This is true for both the cygwin shell and a normal 
command window.

(insert Windows complaints here)

Thanks again for the suggestions.

Steve
