The thread you pointed to suggested that a shell had permissions
problems.  While I agree that it doesn't quite sound like your
issue, there's no harm in investigating and trying the solution
proposed.

Try removing this mount point:

C:\cygwin\bin    /bin      system  binary,cygexec

Also try resetting your cygdrive mount to the default:

cygdrive prefix  /cygdrive  user    binary,noacl,posix=0,auto

My mistake.  I thought you would have c:\cygwin\bin in your path
for the DOS prompt (or give the full path to 'man.exe').  Without
this, you picked up the 'man.exe' that's part of your Windows
installation of CMake.  Assuming the above suggestions don't
help, perhaps another strace of c:\cygwin\bin\man.exe will show
something useful.
