Problems installing man-db

For what it's worth, I also ran into the problem with the Cygwin setup
updater hanging during the man-db update.

I'm on Win8.1, using Cygwin 64-bit.

I didn't have GDB installed, so checked with Process Explorer, the mandb.exe
process was using CPU, but I didn't notice a particular file handle open.

The /var/log/setup.log.run.XXXX is at http://pastebin.com/pZyc2iWf

I've installed GDB, if there's any particular steps I can take to attach to
mandb and provide better information (stack traces / variable contents)
please let me know.
