I got the error text by running the command shown (strace ssh-add). If I run 
it without strace, I get no output. Just a return code of 128.

This may be, but that collision did not happen with the previous release 
(4.5). The only change that I made prior to the failure was to update cygwin 
using the setup.exe program.

I will investigate further when I have time (though I will be upgrading this 
machine to XP soon, so I may not).
