I have reproduced on Win7, same exact cygwin, same exact symptom.
OK, that you guys can't reproduce suggests that there is something special
about my cygwin installation.
What is special, I suspect, is that I have not actually recreated it in many
years: I just update it, and copy the whole thing from machine to machine. (I
described this in the attachment to my original email.) That has worked well
for a long time -- it is much easier and more consistent than running
setup.exe on many machines. But I suspect it has broken down. Somehow, I may
have old libs or old config files mixed with new. (This last update, from 1.7
to 2.3, is clearly a big one.)
So, I will re-install cygwin from scratch on one machine, this weekend.
In the meantime, put this bug report on hold. Thanks to all of you.
I will let the list know how this comes out.
