This didn't work; all I got was "The handle could not be opened during redirection of handle 0."
I did some more digging, and found that the problem disappeared when I reverted the cygwin package to 1.3.2-1 (all other packages staying current, notably bash 2.05a-2 and make 3.79.1-5) and returned when I upgraded it to 1.3.4-3 (then next version I have in my \latest directory). I have the source for 1.3.2-1 and 1.3.4-4, so I'll see what changed and whether the changelog has any clues.
