I can confirm Krzystof's behavior. On a DOS cmd (no bash!) line this stalls
cygstart. 
After a while it actually eats up 100% CPU. I have never tried something
like that
before, invoking cygstart from a cmd window so I cannot tell if this is new.

$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.1 KFIDEMUC312022 1.5.21s(0.156/4/2) 20060707 11:45:39 i686
Cygwin
$ echo $CYGWIN
binmode ntsec smbntsec tty server

Anything else to try?
