I've seen similar effect, when Cygwin was going through implementation of some
specific POSIX calls, and export tables were bouncing around libs in the
snapshots.
But your claim that you've had Cygwin updated led the discussion sideways.
My bet was you've had Cygwin1.dll locked when updating and the update wasn't
completely successful.

No problem.
However, please don't top-post in future.
