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.

If that's what's going on, my .17-3 build should have fixed the problem, 
not manifested it.
