Thanks for reporting this problem.

I assume this means that this worked with gdb-8.1.1-1, but not with 
gdb-8.2.1-1 (Made available for testing 2019-03-21 [1], promoted to 
current 2020-01-07 [2])

Firstly, can I suggest that if a working gdb is important to you, you 
try test versions when they are available.  Wider testing helps me make 
good releases of gdb.

Secondly, can you try the recently made test release of gdb-8.3.1-1 [3], 
to see if this behaves differently?  If that doesn't help, you can 
downgrade to 8.1.1-1 for the moment...

I'm not able to reproduce this problem.  Perhaps you can provide a 
similar transcript showing the steps to reproduce?

Although not related to gdb, that would be a serious cygwin bug.
