My WAG is that your problem is due to incorrect file permissions.
Recall that the latest Cygwin DLL now defaults to ntsec *on*.

I would check the permissions of $PMDIR, $PMDIR/procmail.log, and your
entire $MAILDIR tree.

A quick test would be to shutdown all Cygwin processes and set
CYGWIN=nontsec to see if procmail starts to function properly again.
If this "fixes" the problem, then turn ntsec back on and fix your
permissions problem for real.
