This worked:
	$ cd /home
	$ cp tbaker/.procmailrc TBaker
	$ procmail VERBOSE=3Don <test.mbox
	procmail: [3528] Tue Feb 23 15:22:39 2010
	procmail: Rcfile: "/home/TBaker/.procmailrc"
	procmail: Assigning "MAILDIR=3D/home/TBaker"
	procmail: Assigning "INCLUDERC=3D/home/tbaker/u/config/procmailrc/procmail=
rc"
	procmail: Assigning "LOG=3D
	"
=09
	procmail: Assigning "VERBOSE=3Don"
	procmail: Assigning "LOGABSTRACT=3Dall"
	procmail: Assigning "MAILDIR=3D/home/tbaker/u/folders"
	procmail: Assigning "DEFAULT=3D/home/tbaker/u/folders/mbox"
	procmail: Assigning "PMDIR=3D/home/tbaker/u/config/procmailrc"
	procmail: Assigning "LOGFILE=3D/home/tbaker/u/config/procmailrc/procmail.l=
og"
	procmail: Opening "/home/tbaker/u/config/procmailrc/procmail.log"
	$

In a pinch, it looks like this would solve the problem, but it is an ugly
workaround.  It would be nicer to expunge any references to "TBaker" entire=
ly.
I guess they are in the Win32 registry?  I do not find any in my
cygwin configuration
files.

Hang on... There it is in /etc/passwd...:
TBaker:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:1003:513:U-OCTAVIUS\TBaker,S-[...omitted...]:/h=
ome/TBaker:/bin/bash

and /etc/passwd was last accessed on 2007-11-16, so it would seem
procmail _was_ able
to work with this before the latest update -- if indeed /etc/passwd
has anything to do with
procmail's operation...
