My bash won't accept the letter 's'?

Bash (run in a dos window) will not allow me to type the letter 's'
this morning!  When I type the unmodified letter 's' it just beeps.
Shift, CapsLock, Control all work normally.  I usually run bash from
within emacs (and that does not display the problem) so I don't know
precisely when this problem may have started.  Here is what I've tried
so far:

1. Searched the archives back through 1998 for "bash" "beep" revealed
   nothing.  Nor "bash" "entry" "error".

2. stty sane did not change the behavior

3. bind -P did not show any binding for 's'

4. Updated my cygwin installation the morning of the 8th.


Here is some diagnostic output:
