Running boxes under strace shows that it is trying to open a file named "-" and
exiting because that file doesn't exist.
The version of boxes in the Cygwin distro is very old, so I don't think it's
worth the trouble to debug this. I just downloaded and built the latest
release, and it seems to work fine.
I've added the boxes maintainer to the Cc in case he wants to update the package.

Thanks, Ken.
Boxes had been working well in 32 bit Cygwin, I recently upgraded to a
WIndows 10 computer and decided to try 64 bit Cygwin as a fresh
install on the new machine. "boxes" hasn't worked since the 32 to 64
bit change.

I just tested it on 32-bit Cygwin, and it does indeed work. So the bug is
specific to the 64-bit build.

I also ran it under strace and for me, it was trying to open a file
named "u" in my home directory, so maybe this is some kind of buffer error.
