This comes a while later but I was wrong and you were right.

I had thought since I had Rapport working with cygwin for so long 
without issue that it couldn't be the source of the problem with regards 
to my situation. With the update I did in cygwin something clearly had 
changed causing a conflict. It took a while but I (finally)  uninstalled 
Rapport Trusteer yesterday and the problem was solved. In the meanwhile 
I had gone so far as to install Windows versions of the GNU utilities to 
try my script without cygwin but I had to use cygwin's sort because I 
couldn't work out how to use it under Windows with a different locale 
and it conflicted with join with the case insensitive option unlike 
under cygwin where I could just do  "LANG=en_EN sort -uf". I discovered 
I could use cygwin's sort but if I used it's join while Rapport was 
running my system was messed up afterwards. There were other triggers as 
well, but now I am back to a normal system so thank you very much for 
that advise despite the fact that I ignored it for so long.
