I found a stray version of balance.exe outside of the cygwin direcotry tree.

Now the problem is this:
=======
$ /usr/sbin/balance -d -f -b 127.0.0.1 1080 127.0.0.1:1090
argv[0]=/usr/sbin/balance
bindhost=127.0.0.1
source port 1080
file /var/run/balance/balance.1080.127.0.0.1 already exists
using AF_UNSPEC
shmget: Function not implemented

$ cygcheck.exe /usr/sbin/balance
C:\cygwin64\usr\sbin\balance.exe
  C:\cygwin64\bin\cygwin1.dll
    C:\windows\system32\KERNEL32.dll
      C:\windows\system32\ntdll.dll
      C:\windows\system32\KERNELBASE.dll
========
