I can reproduce this problem on 32 bit Cygwin but not on 64 bit Cygwin. The 64 bit version has a newer patch version 2.7.1, while I so far neglected to update the 32 bit version which is still on 2.6.1. I'll build a new patch 2.7.1 for 32 bit today. I hope that fixes it for 32 bit as well. Stay tuned for the announcement.
