Haven't got the time to get much further.  The symptoms are: a
consolehost and mintty are started.  Instead of just the shell or
whatever other program it's been told to run, there is now a second
mintty process and the forked program spinning CPU on something.  I have
either not been able to attach strace to that process (for lack of a
Cygwin process number) or strace hasn't given me any output.  When I
kill the forked process usually (but not always) mintty exits, but the
consolehost does not.

No changes with the suggestion from Takashi Yano and the 3.1.1 release
from today.  I've rolled back to 3.0.7 for now (so it's not the other
updates that were installed at the same time), can't do any further
investigation at the moment.


Regards,
Achim.
