Hi John,
you should attach the cygcheck.out not put in line

I have seen similar issues.
There is any recent /var/log/setup.log.run* file ?
It should contain some hint of the problem.

What is the output of
   grep wow64 /proc/self/maps | head -n1 | awk '{ print $1}'

and
  rebase -si | awk '{print $3}'| head -n 5
