GOOOD NEWS!!! :)
It seems that it is related to cygwin.
I used an older cygwin1.dll with jtr 1.7.2 and that did the trick!
I can now do -show again using this older cygwin1.dll file
dated May 26th 2005.
I first tried an already compiled ver og 1.6.39 which had this older
cygwin1.dll - it worked.
Then I copied over latest cygwin1.dll (31st Jan 2007) - did not work.
Then I tried old cygwin1.dll with jtr 1.7.2 - it worked :)

I can try 32bit Linux and maybe also 64bit windows in VmWare, but I really
think that the issue is caused by cygwin alone...
Sorry for stirring things up...
