Given that you have the same symptom, it is possible that Git-Bash or something 
else you are running in Windows is creating symlinks somewhere, which Cygwin is 
attempting to read while resolving some path search, or opening some directory 
or file entry, so it would seem advisable to download and install the latest 
snapshot DLL.
You could test this by trying to operate with only minimal Cygwin path /usr/bin: 
/bin and git clone into Cygwin /tmp/ or /usr/tmp/ as long as they are not 
mounted on non-Cygwin directories like your /home is, where Windows programs are 
likely to have an impact.

Known issue with that update is loss of user and system certs - hopefully only 
from Windows cert store affecting only Windows apps - but could that impact 
anything you are using?
