This is with Windows XP SP3.  I am in the administrator group, but I
don't invoke mintty as administrator, only as I normally run as me,
but I am in the administrator group.

It's not impossible that is bloda, but it is odd that it comes and goes
with various cygwin releases then.  It clearly started when I upgraded
to 1.7.10, and clearly disappeared with the 1.7.11s snapshot and then
clearly appeared again with 1.7.15.
