I don't have an answer to your specific problem.  But as a side issue, I 
see that your PATH is very long.  You might consider using a lot of hard 
links say in a directory /lbin with a buch of hard links to the real 
executables in other directories.  You can then shorten PATH and remove 
those duplicate directories.  Just be sure that /bin:/lbin is in PATH.  
The hard links would have to be recreated if you perform any upgrades to 
some things.

Hard links works outside of cygwin since they are implemented at the MS 
filesystem level.  Cygwin symbolic links are different from MS symbolic 
links.  Choose wisely.  Reminder: hard links can't cross FS boundaries
