title: Can't run Rails under Cygwin, due to LoadError: No such process from digest/md5
body: <p>In trying to run Rails under Cygwin, the ./script/server command is producing a load error that I can't find a solution for searching on Google. I can reproduce this error in irb as follows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>irb(main):001:0&gt; require 'rubygems'
  =&gt; true
  irb(main):002:0&gt; require 'digest/md5'
  LoadError: No such process - /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/i386-cygwin/digest/md5.so
          from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/i386-cygwin/digest/md5.so
          from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `require'
          from (irb):2
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>$ ruby --version
  ruby 1.8.7 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 72) [i386-cygwin]</p>
  
  <p>rails (2.3.8, 2.1.0) both fail with the same error</p>
  
  <p>$ uname -a
  CYGWIN_NT-5.1 XXXXXX 1.5.25(0.156/4/2) 2007-12-14 19:21 i686 Cygwin</p>
