Here's an easily reproducible problem with the 2011-12-05 cygwin1.dll 
snapshot:

1. Download cygwin-inst-20111205.tar.bz2 .

2. Start mintty from the Cygwin Terminal shortcut.

3. tar -C/ -xf /path/to/cygwin-inst-20111205.tar.bz2 
--exclude=usr/bin/cygwin1.dll

An hourglass appears and tar doesn't run.  I'm on W7-64 if that makes a 
difference.
