Without a test case, debugging this will amount to testing guesses.

My first guess: try setting the new CYGWIN_SQLITE_LOCKING environment variable to "posix". That can fix it if you are trying to use two or more Cygwin SQLite based programs to access a single database file.

The default mode for Cygwin SQLite is now -- and pretty much always has been -- to prefer allowing a single Cygwin SQLite program to cooperate with any number of native Windows programs for access to a single SQLite DB file.

This means that in this "posix" mode, Cygwin SQLite is no longer likely to cooperate with native Windows SQLite based programs for access to a shared DB file. That's the tradeoff: choose to share with other Cygwin programs, or choose to share with native Windows programs.

I remember there was a discussion
on the cygwin general mailing list about this problem
(backslashes in path?).

If that's what's going on, my .17-3 build should have fixed the problem, not manifested it.
