On my Win7 x64 system, this snapshot (2010-09-01) doesn't work. Cygwin 
commands fail to start without any output; and strace just outputs a 
short exception message:

c:\cygwin\bin>bash

c:\cygwin\bin>strace bash
--- Process 872, exception C0000005 at 6100600B

c:\cygwin\bin>

If I put the original cygwin1.dll (1.7.7) back, everything works again. 
I also have sources, and built the latest from CVS, and that cygwin1.dll 
fails in the same way.
