I can reproduce this if I have CYGWIN=tty (which I note in your cygcheck.out) 
in my Windows environment.  Without that it seems to work fine.

I'm not sure that I believe that this is the underlying cause of the problem, 
and if it is, I have no idea how it could make difference or why it wasn't a 
problem previously.
