Jürgen Wagner nailed it; it was my antivirus, and disabling the
shellcode injection check fixed it.
However, this time-wasting pattern of dealing with the issue by end users 
is not a good way.
A better approach would be to identify some common paterns of BLODA interference and code a test which can detect the interference. This should be executed at startup by the Cygwin shell so that a diagnostic can be displayed to the user. 

  WARNING: Cygwin detected interference from a "dodgy" application
  such as anti-virus software. Your Cygwin installation may malfunction.
