As it turns out, the 32-bit program that I thought was causing the problem was
actually running a a very old EMX (remember EMX?) binary, which was the real
culprit. My apologies for the misdirection.

The cygwin1 DLL in this snapshot has fixed the problem, at least for the 16-bit
programs I have tried. My thanks to you and Corinna.
