The one thing I see immediately in your strace output:

    2:Program name: D:\opt\gnome1\bin\gnibbles.exe (1172)
    3:App version:  1005.9, api: 0.112
                    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    4:DLL version:  1005.10, api: 0.116
...
  403:Program name: D:\opt\gnome1\bin\gnibbles.exe (512)
  404:App version:  1005.10, api: 0.116
  405:DLL version:  1005.10, api: 0.116
...
15764:Program name: D:\opt\gnome1\bin\gnibbles.exe (1828)
15765:App version:  1005.10, api: 0.116
15766:DLL version:  1005.10, api: 0.116

So it looks like you *do* have two versions of cygwin1.dll in memory...
