Oops indeed.  Since the messages weren't in the same thread, I fired off
the previous reply before seeing this.  Turns out I was wrong in my guess.

Is /etc readable to the SYSTEM user?  Is /etc/services (or, rather, the
file it's pointing to) readable?  In fact, is / readable (the new versions
of Cygwin have traverse checking turned on, so if a directory isn't
readable or executable, none of the entries underneath it can be
accessed).

P.S. FYI, you didn't attach your cygcheck output, but included it inline.
