Oops.  Running cygserver is counter-productive in this case.  The actual
fetching of user and group data will then occur inside cygserver and
nothing of import will show up in the trace output.

Can you please stop all Cygwin processes, including cygserver, then
open a Windows Command Prompt, and run

  cd C:\cygwin64\bin
  strace -o id.out id

again?
