I no longer think this.

That didn't help. I now suspect hardware problems: specifically, a
faulty hard drive. There have been various odd problems unrelated to
Cygwin. E.g. the screen went blank for about 2 hours after rebooting
requesting a file system check. Very noisy hard drive (it's driving me
even battier than I normally am!).
