I've seen this happen several times in the past few days.
This may be related to the fact that I'm installing cygwin a lot these days.
It may happen after installing a package that doesn't require to close
any open cygwin terminal.
Usually I close everything by default but since I'm installing a lot
lately I sometimes skip it if it's not required (e.g. installing a php
extension).

Maybe you have some cygwin service running in the background (you can
check it with: cygrunsrv -L).
Regardless, maybe a full rebase could help.
