It seems a race problem, due to the repetitive fork of grep

So why does it fail? Seems like a bug to me!

As does not fail on my computer, I suspect is a race between your AV and
cygwin and sometimes cygwin wins.

Good for you. I don't have AV SW as I mentioned. And even so, that still makes it a bug.
Your system timing performance as so poor that something
is likely interfering.
Don't assume that is a cygwin bug.
Anyhow, a suspicion is speculative. I thought this mailing list was meant to report issues, and I think this is an issue.
Yes, this is the right place.
How can I further diagnose this? Is there a known way to further determine what's causing this?
start with

"Run cygcheck -s -v -r > cygcheck.out and include that file as an
attachment in your report. Please do not compress or otherwise encode
the output. Just attach it as a straight text file so that it can be
easily viewed. "
so we can look at your system configuration.
