There was also a more recent example:

     https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2019-09/msg00228.html ,

which was fixed here:

     https://sourceware.org/git/?p=newlib-cygwin.git;a=commitdiff;h=283cb372e

Please try the test release cygwin-3.1.0-0.8 to see if the fix also works for 
your case.  If not, can you figure out which file in /cygdrive causes the 
assertion failure?
