In setup.log there are a series of invocations of bash like this: Running: D:\cygwin\bin\bash --norc --noprofile /etc/postinstall/somescript.sh abnormal exit: exit code = 35584 This is on all the post install scripts. I did a very clean install using the previous version of bash and libreadline6 added to the installation. Looking at setup.log.full I see the exception STATUS_STACK_OVERFLOW in all cases.
