I have had a similar problem while compiling 0.8.5 with cygwin. By changing some stuff I got it to work again. The solution I had found was that your keyboard language should be set to 'United States(International)' which fixed the problem for us. Besides that, uninstall SVN and download the source ...

I can only get it to run with 0.8.4a on windows XP SP2, any later versions that I have tested have failed with the same error as you posted above.

I have this exact same problem and also clueless as to what may be causing it.

I will do some research and post any results here.
