I see this all the time, too (in Win98se).  WINOLDAP
seems to be how Windows handles the cygwin console. 
It also uses it for win95cmd.  And it is there even
when nothing is locked up.  Windows doesn't seem to
use WINOLDAP for a COMAND.COM DOS box.

Don't think of it as a problem or bug (or even a
"feature"); think of it as a behavior.  It's not that
hard to live with.

 Only if I shut down a

away.  Then I am able to

No and this doesn't look like a Cygwin issue per se. 
"oldwinapp" seems to 
be the problem here, whatever that is.  It certainly
doesn't come with the
Cygwin distribution.  I suggest you investigate this.
