Pavel - thank you very much!  The snapshot works!
I'm just downloading packages now. I did nothing different.
One thing to note as that the DESKTOP package dir is
the default (at least on my WIn2k SP2), but the problem
persists even if I use c:\temp, c:\lang\cygwin\packages,
or seemingly any other dir.

Thanks again - please let me know if it would help
for me to run a debugging version and mail you logs, etc.
