Insight debugger no showing files

I used to use Quartus 7.1 and we have recently upgraded to Quartus 9.0 (sp2) and the associated software tools. The biggest change that I can see is that they have upgraded gcc from 3.4.1 to 3....

I tried a lot of things and nothing that I do allows it to debug correctly under 9.0. However, I did find a few interesting tidbits:

1. In 7.1, the debugger works as expected

2. In 7.2, the debugger fails just like it does in 9.0

3. If I copy nios2-elf-insight.exe from 7.1 to 7.2, it works fine under 7.2

4. If I copy nios2-elf-insight.exe from 7.1 to 9.0, it doesn't launch

5. If I copy nios2-elf-insight.exe from 7.1 9.0 and also copy (under quartus/bin/cygwin/bin) cygncurses5.dll then it does launch and lists all of the files, but it doesn't work.
