go here:
http://www.cygwin.com/snapshots/

for each snapshot, you'll see:

winsup-src-*.tar.bz2
    sources in the winsup directory
cygwin1-*.dll.bz2
    stripped and compressed cygwin1.dll
cygwin-inst-*.tar.bz2
    directory from "make install" (dll, exes, libs, headers, etc)
cygwin-src-*.tar.bz2
    all sources needed to build cygwin1.dll (winsup, newlib, etc)

I would suggest first:
   get the cygwin1-*.dll.bz2 (dll only), uncompress it, and then (from a 
cmd.exe prompt, with all cygwin processes stopped) replace your existing 
cygwin1.dll with it -- after first making a backup, of course.

See if the behavior still occurs.  If not, great.  If so, then:

   get the cygwin-inst-*.tar.bz2, and uncompress/install it (I normally 
uncompress/unpack into a temp directory, and then manually copy 
everything but the DLL into the appropriate locations from a bash shell. 
  Then I manually copy the DLL from a cmd prompt).   Reverting back to 
"standard" is much easier, though: just re-run setup and reinstall the 
official "cygwin", "mingw", and "w32api" packages of your choice.

Anyway, after installing the "inst" snapshot, rebuild xemacs and see if 
the behavior recurs.  If not, great.  If so....sigh.  We'll try to track 
it down. :-)
