Same error on two different windows XP systems.
Same error with libstdc++6 and libgfortran3 from cygwin-ports gcc 4.5.2-2

could you just check if reversing to cygwin 1.7.8-1 solve the problem ?

I also noted the same problem this morning, but it was puzzling and
NOT really repetitive.

Your hunch was right, downgrading to 1.7.8-1 solves it
