Without a test case, debugging this will amount to testing guesses.
My first guess: try setting the new CYGWIN_SQLITE_LOCKING environment
variable to "posix". That can fix it if you are trying to use two or
more Cygwin SQLite based programs to access a single database file.
The default mode for Cygwin SQLite is now -- and pretty much always has
been -- to prefer allowing a single Cygwin SQLite program to cooperate
with any number of native Windows programs for access to a single SQLite
DB file.
This means that in this "posix" mode, Cygwin SQLite is no longer likely
to cooperate with native Windows SQLite based programs for access to a
shared DB file. That's the tradeoff: choose to share with other Cygwin
programs, or choose to share with native Windows programs.
I remember there was a discussion
on the cygwin general mailing list about this problem
(backslashes in path?).
If that's what's going on, my .17-3 build should have fixed the problem,
not manifested it.
