It turns out I did install an X11 upgrade two days ago. I thought I'd only added in a gcc component at that time, but looking at the setup log, apparently X11 came with it. So apologies, and ignore what I said about running dircolors seeming to have triggered it. However, I would imagine this will be a common problem for a lot of people since you can't really expect everyone who runs the setup program at cygwin.com to read the release notes for every package that gets installed.
