Comment(by rl):
It seems that Cygwin, once initialised, keeps its own timer which is
entirely independent from the system clock and slowly goes out of sync.
This is on a per-app basis so closing all Cygwin shells (which, I assume,
are just one app) and then opening the new one cures this for a while.
This might also explain the effects Ian was seeing - Cygwin's timer was a
bit ahead and both date and touch used it whereas non-Cygwin apps used the
system time.
Here is a potentially relevant
