Can you please check your system for BLODA and follow the problem
report process?

BLODA: http://cygwin.com/faq/faq.using.html#faq.using.bloda
Problem reports:       http://cygwin.com/problems.html

You may also want to check and make sure there isn't something else
running using a cygwin1.dll as it will commonly cause issues.
Especially if the dll is an older version.
