But the mystery is solved now, even though another mystery remains. Long story short: 1) "Bad address" is just a very confusing error message 2) There's a packaging error, namely that pdftex.exe depends on cygpoppler-26.dll, but the texlive packages don't depend on the libpoppler26 package. Please fix 2). What about 1)? Is this a known problem, that cygwin reports "Bad address" when a DLL cannot be found? Shouldn't cygwin print a more more comprehensive error message like "cygpoppler-26.dll not found"?
