Subject: "Bad Address" response to many net tools after updating cygwin x86_64 1.7.29

I decided to update my cygwin x86_64 environment a few days back out
of concern about the openssh heartbleed bug.

Since that time most of my network tools no longer work as expected,
reporting "Bad address" as the failure reason

Here are some samples:-

rep AT WinServer:~$ ping 192.168.1.1
-bash: /cygdrive/c/Windows/system32/ping: Bad address
rep AT WinServer:~$ which ping
/cygdrive/c/Windows/system32/ping
rep AT WinServer:~$ file /cygdrive/c/Windows/system32/ping
/cygdrive/c/Windows/system32/ping: PE32+ executable (console) x86-64,
for MS Windows

rep AT WinServer:~$ netstat -na
-bash: /cygdrive/c/Windows/system32/netstat: Bad address
rep AT WinServer:~$ which netstat
/cygdrive/c/Windows/system32/netstat
rep AT WinServer:~$ file /cygdrive/c/Windows/system32/netstat
/cygdrive/c/Windows/system32/netstat: PE32+ executable (console)
x86-64, for MS Windows

rep AT WinServer:~$ wget www.google.com
--2014-04-19 20:03:25--  http://www.google.com/
Resolving www.google.com (www.google.com)... failed: Bad address.
wget: unable to resolve host address ‘www.google.com’

and so on and so forth. Did some googling of the error, nothing recent
that seems immediately obvious. The same tools work ok from windows
command prompt.

rep AT WinServer:~$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-6.1 WinServer 1.7.29(0.272/5/3) 2014-04-07 13:46 x86_64 Cygwin


Any suggestions how i can track down / fix whatever is going wrong here ?

Thanks
