a2ps on Cygwin quietly exits with code 127 on Windows 7

[Beau Nanaz <SpamnTrapf@yahoo.com>]

Greetings.

I have a new Windows-7 machine and one of the first things I downloaded 
was Cygwin, making sure to include a2ps and ps2pdf.

Unlike the flawless running (after diddling $HOME/.a2ps/a2psrc) I had 
under my previous XP box, This one is misbehaving: It does nothing 
visible, even for a2ps --version.  Observe:
+--------------------------------+
| Jake@Maxwell ~$ a2ps --version |
| Jake@Maxwell ~$ echo $?        |
| 127                            |
+--------------------------------+

Error 127?  What's wrong?  According to errno.h:
#define EISCONN 127     /* Socket is already connected */

I already know from the cygwin setup that this is a2ps release 4.13.

Has a2ps gotten too smart and started messing with sockets?  if so, is 
there an option in a2psrc I can mess with to make remove this obstruction?

Thanks for any useful advice here.

Note: If I could have found a forum on a2ps alone I would have posted 
this there.
