I meant to reply to this earlier today, but lines between day/night
and work/not have been too blurry lately.
I tried a clean install of 32-bit Cygwin, but that didn't fix
anything. So then on a lark, I rebooted the computer (turned it off
actually, which I have not done in weeks), and magically, the problem
went away. Maybe Windows 10 had its knickers in a twist or something,
but everything else seemed to run just fine, except Cygwin.
I have tried 64-bit Cygwin in the past. I do a lot of file I/O and
sorting/searching on largish test-based data sets, and 64-bit was
noticeably slower than 32-bit Cygwin, so I have not been gung-ho to
switch. Maybe now that it's more mature, I should give it another
shot.
