Bug? GetCommandLineW() missing arguments in 64 bit Cygwin.

Hi All,
In a (admittedly not current) version of 64 bit Cygwin, I'm observing a funny
behavior:
The GetCommandLineW function returns a command line which consists of the
executable name only; the arguments are missing.
This issue goes away when the program is run under GDB; the arguments
prepared by GDB do then appear in the command line.
The issue is not seen under 32 bits.
The repro program uses WinMain; I've not compared whether using
main makes a difference:
#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <wchar.h>
int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nShowCmd)
{
int argc, i;
LPWSTR cmdline = GetCommandLineW();
wprintf(L"cmdline = %ls\n", cmdline);
return 0;
}
