Hi, I had this same error, and recovered by moving c:\cygwin to
c:\cygwin.some_other_name, then reinstalling the entire cygwin pretty much
as I had it before.
So, in my case at least it doesn't seem to be security; just a "reinstall
from scratch" type of thing.
I had noticed that for the past few weeks, it had been taking longer to
bring up a cygwin bash window than before; otherwise it appeared to be fine.
Now, the bash shell comes up instantly as it had prior to a few weeks ago
(so, this oddity is now gone too).
What I had done during those weeks was, gradually install a few packages
that I hadn't previously (ssh, ccrypt, probably a few others I can't
remember). The twist was, I do this (download and install) on two machines.
The cygwin install directory is on a portable hard drive; as I download new
packages to it on a couple different machines, I install them on both
machines as I reconnect the drive to them. Oh, also, this installation
folder is Really Old; probably at least 3 years old (and I've upgraded it to
new cygwin versions at least twice).
My version info from cygcheck --sysinfo is:
1830k 2007/01/31 C:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll
Cygwin DLL version info:
DLL version: 1.5.24

Anyhow, I figure that something went bad; reinstalling has fixed. Going on
my merry way.
