I would suspect the baudrate isn't set right. Try passing the right
baudrate directly ["-b 38400], or try running with "-b 0" and see if it
guesses it?

If that's still not the case, save the serial log and see what it
contains? ["-l logfile.txt"]

I just tried a fresh checkout under cygwin, seems to be working here.
