I have reproduced on Win7, same exact cygwin, same exact symptom.

OK, that you guys can't reproduce suggests that there is something special
about my cygwin installation.  

What is special, I suspect, is that I have not actually recreated it in many
years: I just update it, and copy the whole thing from machine to machine.  (I
described this in the attachment to my original email.)  That has worked well
for a long time -- it is much easier and more consistent than running
setup.exe on many machines.  But I suspect it has broken down.  Somehow, I may
have old libs or old config files mixed with new.  (This last update, from 1.7
to 2.3, is clearly a big one.)

So, I will re-install cygwin from scratch on one machine, this weekend.

In the meantime, put this bug report on hold.  Thanks to all of you.

I will let the list know how this comes out.
