I happened to have found the last cygwin1.dll lying around in /tmp that I kept as a backup. I swapped it with the current cygwin1.dll just to see if it would make the IO problem go away and much to my happy surprise - it did.
Details: cygwin1.dll-1.5.10-3 - previous stable build, works great cygwin1.dll-1.5.11-1 - current stable build, blows up I will be pinging the Cygwin list momentarily to see if they have any insight.
