I realize this problem wasn't being worked on as the developers could not
reproduce it however I thought I would give an update just the same.  I
downloaded the latest version of the 1.7 cygwin1.dll this morning dated
7-13-2009 and this problem is now fixed.  If I put the old 1.7 dll in place 
(dated 6-18-2009),
the problem immediately returns.  So whatever the problem was, this latest
build seems to have corrected it.

Thanks to all for the hard work in maintaining cygwin!
