Segmentation fault while executing Cygwin commands

We want the cygwin bash shell while getting connected using Fortress SSH. So we installed Cygwin 1.7 and Fortress SSH Server on the windows 2012 R2 server.
- Configured the Console Settings in the Local Server Configuration to get the Cygwin bash shell.

When we tried ssh to the Windows server, we are getting the Cygwin shell. But, the issue is most of the cygwin commands returned "Segmentation Fault"

$ ls
Segmentation fault

$ ls -l /cygdrive/c
Segmentation fault

This is the Cygwin version:
$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-6.3 Server1 1.7.32(0.274/5/3) 2014-08-13 23:06 x86_64 Cygwin

Fortress SSH Server Version:  5.0 Build 9 Revision 2748

Can you please check what is the cause for this issue?

Hello,

Have you tested cygwin outside of the ssh session?

Segmentation faults appear to be a regular error with cygwin. Please see this link to see if it helps you with the errors.https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2012-08/msg00216.html

Thanks for your reoly.
I am able to execute the linux commands outside of Pragma. It's working fine.
Outside means, I login to windows, launch cygwin bash and executed the commands like "ls -l" - which are working fine.

The issue occurs only when the commands are called from the Pragma SSH session
