The initial investigation by one of the Windows Terminal developers has determined that "Cygwin is calling console APIs in its steady state. It looks like it's calling GetConsoleProcessList in a tight loop, which results in the allocation of a new buffer that is returned to their process via condrv's ioctl interface. I don't think there's anything we can do about that, other than stopping them from doing so."

Thanks for the report.
However, I cannot reproduce your problem.
Which cygwin version do you use?
