Bizarre. I've never seen anything like it, nor your problem with "altdir
invalid". However I've got one guess about what might be interfering, from
your cygcheck.out:

Those could well have been interfering. Get rid of all Cygwin-related DLLs
from your C:\WINDOWS folder (maybe stash them away somewhere safe in case they
turn out to be needed by some Cygwin-dependent application you've got on your
system), then reinstall everything using setup.exe (click on "Default" next to
the "All" category in the Category view until it switches to "Reinstall",
ignore the couple of warning boxes that pop up on the way there) and see if it
all works better once that's completed.
cheers,
