I saw this EXACT same problem when I 'upgraded' to the Jan 15, 1999 Cygwin
DLL. I didn't see it right away. It just happened one day, after I had been
using the new DLL for a couple of days. I tried reverting back to the Dec 1998
Cygwin DLL, and the problem went away.

I wonder if anyone has more insight on this.
