Alternatively:
http://www.mail-archive.com/fink-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg09820.html
indicates that the problem is related to locate/updatedb.  

When "locate toc_maxima.html" finds the file then texmacs will run maxima.  
However, I have some unresolved issues on cygwin:
 - the machine that used to work now doesn't, 
 - the one that didn't now does after doing an updatedb
 - updatedb is giving me some grief.
