the log file was created in the stage. please check enclosed log file.
 P.S. '\listfiles' was added to the preamble.

the same warnings produced at this stage, they are,

** WARNING ** Invalid char in fontmap line: f
** WARNING ** Invalid map record in fontmap line 3078 from pdftex.map.
** WARNING ** -- Ignore the current input buffer: labm2986 SFBM2986 "T2AEncoding

The PDF file is created no problem to my eyes.  I raised the question
is because that there is no such warning when I using
TL2008+cygwin1.5, these warnings only appear when I use
TL2009+cygwin1.7.  This lead me to think I get some system wide
problems that may harm things other than the mini-sample.tex.
