Your PID values are pretty suspicious.  Even on a busy machine they
should seldomly have more than 4 digits, let alone 6.  The PIDs are only
getting high if process and other handles are hold and not closed by
another process.  This looks a lot like a BLODA problem.  Did you
check against http://cygwin.com/faq/faq.html#faq.using.bloda?
