I just installed the 64-bit version of Cygwin to another 64-bit Windows 7 PC, and
it did not have this problem. After the installation was finished, my user was
configured in the /etc/passwd file and did not have the "mkgroup" group. Instead,
it was set to 513 (None), which I guess is okay - at least I don't get the error
when launching a shell.
I don't think I did anything different during the installation other than just
getting a later version (I downloaded the software on 3/15/2014).
