latest iconv hangs

I have used iconv for several years. I just updated my cygwin package
last night, and now iconv hangs. That is, all the following commands hang:
iconv -l
iconv --list
echo foo | iconv -f ISO-8859-1 - UTF-8
And it's a "hard hang", too: ^C won't stop it.
I don't have any way to get a version number directly from iconv, but
I'm attaching my cygcheck.out file.
Here are what I suspect are the relevant files:
-rwxr-x---+ 1 maxwell Users 19968 Oct 22 19:44 /bin/iconv*
-rwxr-x---+ 1 maxwell Users 1048840 Oct 22 19:44 /lib/libiconv.a*
-rwxr-x---+ 1 maxwell Users 8264 Oct 22 19:44 /lib/libiconv.dll.a*
-rwxr-x---+ 1 maxwell Users 773 Oct 22 19:44 /lib/libiconv.la*
I would revert to earlier versions, but I don't know how. I did
re-install the two libiconv packages, to no effect. I'm not sure what
package the iconv executable comes in, so I don't know how to re-install
that.
I'm running this from the bash shell, if it matters.
