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.
