I think this is a regression:

1.  Used setup to install Cygwin package 1.7.10.  Problem still exists.
2.  Since setup did not offer me the ability to go back to 1.7.9, I found my
old archive for that version and extracted the bin files to manually go back
to that version.  Problem fixed!

So it must be a bug introduced in Cygwin 1.7.10 and not yet fixed in 1.7.11.
Unfortunately, manually reinstalling the 1.7.9 broke core utilities ("ls"
does not work anymore, for example...)  Guess I need to restore those,
too...

I guess it is some type of race.
on my W7/64 with 20120307 it works around 50% of the times from cmd but 100%
from the dash shell
