I don't know if my (pointed) answer is accurate (it may depend on cygwin
version), maybe try find answer on some cygwin mailing-list/news-group.

I don't use M$ for last 5-6 years, but sometimes I do consulting or
maintainance :)

`clear all' is matlab syntax, in octave your command mean clear only
variable named `all' :). In octave use `clear *' or simply `clear'. It
clears all variables, but for clearing all functions use `clear -f *'.

Try 2.1.50a.exe from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2888
Try ask author of big files problem if he solved it.
