I type everything as one single line, no new lines except at the very end, so the command line easily exceeds 80 characters. However your answer made me think about command line length, so I started to experiment with shorter lines, i.e. less parameters and shorter words as parameters. No problems showed up anymore. To make sure, I reran the exact same command as failed before by getting it via the history command (to exclude all possibilities of typos either the first time or at the rerun). Again no problem. Since I ran into the stated problem multiple times but as far as I recall, only at the end of a working day (since this is a kind of bootlegged project), I start to think that something gets goofed up in (supposedly) the windows machinery during my daily activities which bytes Cygwin. If the problem shows up again, I'll test this theory be rebooting.
