This is a known issue with the 7.05-1 release.  As soon as I have
some time, I'll make a new 7.05-2 release.

In the meantime, the workaround is to use binary mounts for both
/usr and any data directories that contain your Postscript input.

NOTE: I have redirected this discussion to the cygwin mailing list,
which is where package bugs are discussed.
