autorebase.bat failure - "/etc/rebase.db.i386" is not a valid rebase database

[Jim Garrison <jhg at jhmg dot net>]

This is a newly built win7.1 x64 system with Cygwin 32-bit
installed.  I recently ran the Cygwin installer to get updates
and at the end of installation in the log I see:

2014/10/13 23:29:18 running: cmd.exe /c
"C:\cygwin\etc\postinstall\autorebase.bat"
gzip: /etc/setup/font-adobe-dpi75.lst.gz: not in gzip format

rebase: "/etc/rebase.db.i386" is not a valid rebase database.
2014/10/13 23:29:19 abnormal exit: exit code=2

Is this a bug? Do I need to do something to correct the problem?

Also, the file /etc/rebase.db.i386 consists of about 26kb of binary
zeroes:
