The problem with the 2011-05-05 snapshot goes away if I build 
cygwin1.dll myself.  I used a CVS checkout as of 2011-05-05 22:31, which 
seems to be cutoff for that snapshot.  The last change in the ChangeLog is

2011-05-05  Christopher Faylor  <...>

	* cygheap.cc (cygheap::close_ctty): Close ctty via close_with_arch().
	* debug.cc (close_handle): Call debugger on failure.
[...]

I don't understand this.  I simply built cygwin1.dll according to the 
instructions in the FAQ.

I haven't had a chance to build cygwin1.dll from later checkouts yet, so 
I don't know if the problems with later snapshots will go away too.
