Thanks. I had already tried setting the environmental variable HZ to 
1024 prior to receiving your latest message, so couldn't check if it 
already had a value. I also use a third party software that had been 
compiled with an earlier Cygwin version. I was not sure if that was 
affecting my stand-alone installation somehow so the developer of that 
software just rebuilt it with the latest Cygwin and I installed that 
version. I then restarted my computer and now "echo $HZ" returns nothing 
and the error no longer appears, so I think it is resolved, not sure if 
it was just the restart or also updating the other software. Sorry I did 
not try that earlier.

For what it's worth, the "632" number in the message had been 
incrementing occasionally and was up to 641 by the time I received your 
email, so I'm unsure what was setting it, but it is no longer an issue. 
Thanks for your assistance.
