Good idea.

Yes, I think that's worth trying. 1.5 and 1.7 should be able to run
side-by-side, and it works for me, but who knows. Even better if you
were able to shut down all Cygwin processes, or reboot.

The is a call to CreateNamedPipe in Cygwin's pty emulation failing
with "ERROR_PIPE_BUSY". Helpfully, CreateNamedPipe's MSDN page makes
no mention of it, but the code in pipe.cc has this:
case ERROR_PIPE_BUSY:
/* The pipe is already open with compatible parameters.
Pick a new name and retry. */
debug_printf ("pipe busy", name ? ", retrying" : "");
break;
In this case we don't retry because the name is fixed to
"\\.\pipe\cygwin-tty1-to-master".
This article suggests a call to WaitNamedPipe in case of
ERROR_PIPE_BUSY:

got no idea whether that would help here.
cgf?
