Thanks.
Problem solved. Those log files were last updated last November, not
today. Turns out I did a test install to a new cygwin root and the
setup had helpfully remembered that root. But my cygwin terminal
shortcut and chere stuff still pointed to my original root. I have not
done anything significant in cygwin since last November, so I didn't
notice that I was using a different root until today. I tend to click
through the first few screens in setup without paying too much
attention to them. My bad.
