Same for me.  I'm also getting strange output from ldd, but maybe that's just 
another manifestation of the same problem:

$ ldd /usr/bin/graph
         ntdll.dll => /c/WINDOWS/SYSTEM32/ntdll.dll (0x7ff82a4c0000)
         KERNEL32.DLL => /c/WINDOWS/System32/KERNEL32.DLL (0x7ff8289c0000)
         KERNELBASE.dll => /c/WINDOWS/System32/KERNELBASE.dll (0x7ff8280c0000)
         cygplot-2.dll => /usr/bin/cygplot-2.dll (0x9f0000)
         cygplot-2.dll => /usr/bin/cygplot-2.dll (0xbf0000)
         cygplot-2.dll => /usr/bin/cygplot-2.dll (0xbf0000)
         cygwin1.dll => /usr/bin/cygwin1.dll (0xd20000)
[...]
         cygintl-8.dll => /usr/bin/cygintl-8.dll (0x1760000)
         cygintl-8.dll => /usr/bin/cygintl-8.dll (0x1760000)
         cygiconv-2.dll => /usr/bin/cygiconv-2.dll (0x1780000)
         cygiconv-2.dll => /usr/bin/cygiconv-2.dll (0x1780000)
