That's the hallmark of BLODA.

These very low addresses again point to BLODA.

It's very likely not caused by Cygwin, so this route isn't even starting
to address the issue.

BLODA.

BLODA.

BLODA.

Check if you have any real-time virus scanner activated and except the
Cygwin installation tree from being acted on if possible.  And since
it's not likely you can just deactivate the virus scanner for production
machines, at the very least you need to ensure that you don't have _two_
of them active on the machine (this would produce extremely "funny"
behaviour) and the one that is active is configured the same on all of
them.
