Looking at the code I can't see any way that this error could ever occur
but, then, the code that produced this error was actually wrong.

I just checked in a minor rewrite around this error message.  I don't know
if it will fix this problem or not.  I couldn't duplicate your problem here,
FWIW.

This will be in the next cygwin snapshot: http://cygwin.com/snapshots/ .
