I think I got to the bottom of this.
It seems the new implem of sem_getvalue in cgwin1.dll is the cause, see:
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-patches/2013-q3/msg00006.html
It may also explain the random reproducibility if sval stays uninitialized 
or something like that (I did not check it is the case though).

Reverting to 1.7.20 solved the issue on the install I tested.
I guess my previous attempts to downgrade cygwin1.dll were just badly 
done:
I just decompressed the cygwin tarball which only overwrote the dll in /
usr/bin but not in /bin.
Is there a canonical way to do that in a proper way?
Putting it in a local directory and pointing setup.exe ot it?

Best,
JP
