Thanks, Brian, good idea.  Alas, no luck.  If anyone knows of other
test suites or experiments I could run to help isolate what's going
wrong, please let me know.

NEW STEPS TO REPRO
1.  unpacked into a fresh folder from "cygwin-inst-20050901.tar.bz2"
2.  renamed my old C:\Cygwin to be sure it was unreachable
3.  snapshot didn't come with a shell, so I copied bash.exe from
    my old installation:
    "GNU bash, version 3.00.16(11)-release (i686-pc-cygwin)"
4.  same problem as before: perpetual "illegal operation" dialog
    upon trying to invoke "COMMAND.COM"
5.  tried with ash.exe as well, same result (version 20040127-3)
