Thanks for the tip, but that didn't seem to have helped.

The registry setting CYGWIN_NOWINPATH=1 did not seem to affect the 
environment as seen in bash.

The variable seems to be set:

bash-4.4$ set
...snip...
COMSPEC='C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe'
CYGWIN_NOWINPATH=1
...snip

but the path variable contains still all the common system locations:

bash-4.4$ echo $PATH
/cygdrive/c/ProgramData/Oracle/Java/javapath:/cygdrive/c/Program Files 
(x86)/iis express/PHP/v5.3:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Common Files/Mic
rosoft Shared/Windows Live:/cygdrive/c/Program Files (x86)/Common 
Files/Microsoft Shared/Windows Live:/cygdrive/c/Program Files (x86)/Intel/
iCLS Client:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Intel/iCLS 
Client:/cygdrive/c/Windows/system32:/cygdrive/c/Windows:...snip...

Manually overriding the PATH variable in bash did not help (presumably 
because the offending DLL is already loaded):

bash-4.4$ export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
bash-4.4$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
bash-4.4$
bash-4.4$
bash-4.4$ ls
       0 [main] bash (11276) C:\Cygwin\bin\bash.exe: *** fatal error - 
cygheap base mismatch detected - 0x3C52410/0x36F2410.
This problem is probably due to using incompatible versions of the 
cygwin DLL.
Search for cygwin1.dll using the Windows Start->Find/Search facility
and delete all but the most recent version.  The most recent version 
*should*
reside in x:\cygwin\bin, where 'x' is the drive on which you have
installed the cygwin distribution.  Rebooting is also suggested if you
are unable to find another cygwin DLL.
