This may well be related to the reported breakage with cygwin more
recent than 1.3.1/1.1.8 and apache. I've got a faulting setup with squid
showing the same thing,  but no time to debug (yet). You might consider
testing with 1.1.8 and seeing if that fixes the issue. If reverting does
'fix' this, and the time to cause the fault is relatively short,
consider doing a binary CVS search to find the commit that broke it.
