My WAG - you have a <http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#3PP> app installed.  Search
your disk for a rogue cygwin1.dll and remove all traces of it with the
appropriate variations of these steps to remove a Cygwin installation from
your system:

  <http://cygwin.com/faq/faq-nochunks.html#faq.setup.uninstall-all>

Keep in mind that any 3PP isn't going to follow proper Cygwin operational
rules so not all steps in the above will necessarily apply.

YMMV. :-)
