This was working in Cygwin 3.5
No changes have been made to the utility for five years, but a lot of changes
have been made to the DLL since 3.5.
Could you please install current stable cygwin 3.6.3, retest and report, to try
and narrow down the issue occurrence to changes in major version 3.6 or 3.7, or
better to minor versions if you have the space and time?
