Comment(by creswick):

 This can be recreated with a windows vista system that has cygwin and a
 cygwin ssh server running:

  * Add a new windows user (say 'testUser'), but do not log in with that
 user.
  * ssh to the host as testUser
  * attempt to run cabal with some sort of command line parameters (eg:
 `cabal --help`)
