Can you please check your system for BLODA and follow the problem report process? BLODA: http://cygwin.com/faq/faq.using.html#faq.using.bloda Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html You may also want to check and make sure there isn't something else running using a cygwin1.dll as it will commonly cause issues. Especially if the dll is an older version.
