Hi Tim,

I don't know if you noticed the thread starting here:

   https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2019-12/msg00016.html

The problem reported there has been fixed, and I hope that the fix also works 
for your problem.  You can test it by installing the latest snapshot from 
https://cygwin.com/snapshots/.

Thanks.

Ken
