mkpasswd with domain gives The security database is corrupted error


Fresh install of cygwin 1.7.16 on Windows Server 2008 R2.  Trying to add my
domain users to /etc/passwd, but when I run mkpasswd I get (somewhat obfuscated):

$ mkpasswd -l -d CO-RA
SYSTEM:*:18:544:,S-1-5-18::
LocalService:*:19:544:U-NT AUTHORITY\LocalService,S-1-5-19::
NetworkService:*:20:544:U-NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService,S-1-5-20::
Administrators:*:544:544:,S-1-5-32-544::
TrustedInstaller:*:4294967294:4294967294:U-NT
SERVICE\TrustedInstaller,S-*::
Administrator:unused:500:513:U-FONT3\Administrator,S-*
Guest:unused:501:513:U-FONT3\Guest,S-*:/home/Guest:/bin/bash
sgeadmin:unused:1000:513:U-FONT3\sgeadmin,S-*:/home/sgeadmin:/bin/bash
mkpasswd (374): [2247] The security database is corrupted.

That message led me to trying to check the status to the secedit.sdb database
with esentutl but that checks out okay.

Any ideas?  TIA,
