Yes, you should be using a newer version, specifically the egcs version
from http://www.xraylith.wisc.edu/~khan/software/gnu-win32/ . Good news
is that *lots* of bugs are fixed; bad news is that this bug remains and 
I haven't had time to look at this. I don't know how cygwin dll
initializes stdio at startup, and this I suspect is tied to that.

Don't shoot the messenger ;-)
