Pipe creation failure (win32 error 1) again -- not BLODA

I'm running into sporadic failures with pipe creation; the exact errors
(from a service logfile) are:
0 [sig] grep 1204 C:\cygwin\bin\grep.exe: *** fatal error - couldn't
create signal pipe, Win32 error 1
0 [sig] sleep 6244 C:\cygwin\bin\sleep.exe: *** fatal error - couldn't
create signal pipe, Win32 error 1
I've changed the service to work in a writeable directory, so I might have
stack traces soon. In the meantime, I can definitely say that my system
doesn't have any BLODA -- it's a fully updated Windows 7 64-bit installation
with Defender disabled. Besides -- it's a pipe! It shouldn't be able to fail
that way.
Someone else mentioned having the same problem late last year:

The common factor seems to be running a 64-bit OS. Between this problem and
other random and weird behavior, I'm just about ready to install Windows 7
32-bit and be done with it -- but that wouldn't fix the bug. :)
