wvm is the executable produced by the Visual Studio 2005 solution file. 
The Cygwin build produces one called vm. I just tried doing a Cygwin 
build (make clean; make ; make plugins) and I'm seeing the same hang 
during bootstrap.

xoltar at xoltar /c/lang/src/slate/alpha
$ ./vm little.image
Bootstrapping libraries... (this may take a while. Save the image when 
done).
