First question.  Have you been changing the version of Cygwin DLL during
this time (i.e. using snapshots)?  If so, then try reinstalling the latest
release package (1.5.18) and see if that resolves the problem.  If it doesn't
or if you have been using 1.5.18 the whole time, then that points to external
forces.  You'll want to review your software installation/configuration
history.

If you really feel this is a Cygwin specific issue, then start with the
basics.  Read and follow the problem reporting guidelines found here:

That should help anyone here interested in evaluating your issue.
