Thanks for the test case.

This problem was caused by a bug that I introduced in cygwin a while
ago.  It should be fixed in the next snapshot.

This is a serious enough problem that I think a new 1.5.21 version of
cygwin is warranted.  I'll probably be doing that soon if you can confirm
that this fixes your problem.
