In the past I've had some _very_ odd problems (once was random segfaults,
another was sshd refusing to use publickeys) that just went away after a clean
reinstall of cygwin. I do not know how hard this would be for you - I keep all
my personal cygwin files in /custom and /home/max, and symlink into those dirs
for personalized config files.

Anyway, _if_ you can delete and reinstall cygwin without much hassle, I suggest
you do that.

Just make sure you don't accidentally delete stuff you wanted to keep :-)

Max.
