None that I managed to find (checked with AVZ for interceptors, autoruns 
from a boot disk for suspicious entries, procmon for 3rd-party drivers 
in call chain).
There might be something from hardware drivers, but none were installed 
two weeks ago.

There's only one copy on my system and it's a 64-bit exe:
$ which dumper
/usr/bin/dumper
$ cygcheck -f `which dumper`
cygwin-2.4.1-1
$ objdump -h `which dumper` | head
/usr/bin/dumper:     file format pei-x86-64
<...>
Already tried reinstalling the package as well as trying other versions 
available (2.3.1 and 2.5.0).
specifying full windows-style path to the exe as `man dumper' says 
doesn't change anything.
