I'm traveling at the moment and unable to do any testing, but I wonder if you're 
bumping into an issue that was just discussed on the cygwin-developers list:

   https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin-developers/2020-December/012015.html

A different workaround is described there.

If it's the same issue, then I don't think it will happen with the new AF_UNIX 
implementation.  More in a few days.
