Error running Windows gvim.exe from Cygwin

I can run Vim 7.3f from a Cygwin 1.5 bash prompt like this:

$ /cygdrive/c/Program\ Files/Vim/vim73f/gvim.exe

but when I try to run Vim 7.3.2 from a Cygwin 1.7 bash prompt the
same way, i.e.,

$ /cygdrive/c/Program\ Files/Vim/vim73/gvim.exe

I get a DOS window with "C:\Program Files\Vim\vim73\vimrun.exe" in
the title bar and this text in the window:

/bin/bash /c <symlink> /
The system cannot find the file specified.
shell returned 1
Hit any key to close this window...

When I hit Enter, a pop-up window from Vim appears, titled "Message"
and containing this text:

:!<symlink>**/*

and an "Ok" button, where the first * is actually a y with an
umlaut, the second * is some character that looks like a b and a p
sharing the same circle part, and the third * is an open square.

I can test the Cygwin 1.5 / Vim 7.3.2 combination a little later.

Can anyone tell me what's going on and how it can be fixed?

Regards,
Gary
