My WAG is that your problem is due to incorrect file permissions. Recall that the latest Cygwin DLL now defaults to ntsec *on*. I would check the permissions of $PMDIR, $PMDIR/procmail.log, and your entire $MAILDIR tree. A quick test would be to shutdown all Cygwin processes and set CYGWIN=nontsec to see if procmail starts to function properly again. If this "fixes" the problem, then turn ntsec back on and fix your permissions problem for real.
