Yep.  Here's one short thread on the issue.

<http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2003-09/msg00045.html>

Doesn't look like it's been debugged by anyone so if you're interested,
take a look.  IIRC, the problem is only noticed when installing from 
a local directory.  If you're just looking for the "quick fix", try 
installing from the Internet.
