Any and all combinations are welcome at this point.  There seem to be an
infinite number of straws.

Next straw would be to put a call to init_console_handler(TRUE); just before
the call to CloseWindowStation:

      if (horig && h && h != horig && SetProcessWindowStation (horig))
	{
	  set_console_handler_true (TRUE);
	  CloseWindowStation (h);
	}

Maybe that is a clue, as Yitzchak suggested.  I'd missed that in the cygcheck
output.  I'm running SP2 and I believe Corinna is also.
