After updating Cygwin today (26 November 2006), the installed version of /etc/profile appeared to become a DOS-type text file rather than a Unix-type text file. That caused severe problems (e.g. "unknown command") when starting up the Cygwin login shell. Correcting the file type back to Unix seems to have solved the problem.
