I have narrowed it down to cygwin1.dll. If I install cygwin 3.0.1-1 and
overwrite cygwin1.dll with the 2.11.2-1 version, everything works.
Likewise, if I install cygwin 2.11.2-1 and overwrite cygwin1.dll with
the 3.0.1-1 version everything stops working.
Additional information about the broken applications: cygwin
applications running under 3.0.1-1 show no output but a blinking cursor
and do not respond to CTRL+C or ENTER keys.
