The one thing I see immediately in your strace output:
2:Program name: D:\opt\gnome1\bin\gnibbles.exe (1172)
3:App version: 1005.9, api: 0.112
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
4:DLL version: 1005.10, api: 0.116
...
403:Program name: D:\opt\gnome1\bin\gnibbles.exe (512)
404:App version: 1005.10, api: 0.116
405:DLL version: 1005.10, api: 0.116
...
15764:Program name: D:\opt\gnome1\bin\gnibbles.exe (1828)
15765:App version: 1005.10, api: 0.116
15766:DLL version: 1005.10, api: 0.116
So it looks like you *do* have two versions of cygwin1.dll in memory...
