Why do some of the IPC BASH system calls such as shmget and semget result in the "Bad system call" error when executed. I compiled with gcc with no errors but when executing the a.exe I get the "Bad system call" error.

You first need to run cygserver, a service for Windows. Find in your cygwin instalation cygserver.REDME and read it. Second you need to set enviroment varaiable CYGWIN as server. Go to Control Panel/System/Advenced/Enviroment Varaibles and add one named CYGWIN with value server.
