I upgraded today to Windows 10 v1511. I ran into the same problem. I
renamed my cygwin root directory (64 bit) and installed a 32 bit version
of cygwin. The fork problem does not appear on the 32 bit version.

In conclusion, I confirm that the issue appears when running a 32 bit
version from a 64 bit cygwin. It does not appear when running a 32 bit
app from a 32 bit cygwin.

PS: my test applicatin is notepad++ with the nppexec plugin, which I use
to power up the make command in a cygwin shell.
