Well, my Systems people stopped cygserver for me, and I was able to open the 
"Cygwin64 terminal" without problems...  The machine wasn't rebooted, 
re-login'ed, nothing.

So cygserver was the culprit?

When I run id now, I get it all correctly, from both that very terminal:

$ id
uid=1050182(lavr) gid=1049089(Domain Users) groups=1049089(Domain 
Users),555(Remote Desktop Users),545(Users),559(Performance Log 
Users),14(REMOTE INTERACTIVE LOGON),4(INTERACTIVE)....

and also from "bash" that I used to start from "cmd.exe" (when the terminal 
wouldn't open up):

C:\Windows\System32>cd \cygwin64\bin

C:\Cygwin64\bin>bash

lavr@NCBIPC9135 /usr/bin
$ id
uid=1050182(lavr) gid=1049089(Domain Users) groups=1049089(Domain 
Users),555(Remote Desktop Users),545(Users),559(Performance Log 
Users),14(REMOTE INTERACTIVE LOGON),4(INTERACTIVE),11(Authenticated 
Users),15(This Organization),4095(CurrentSession)...

Also note that my prompt is not showing anything numeric anymore...

Any clues?

All Cygwin services need to be shut down prior to running Cygwin Setup and they need to be restarted after Cygwin Setup completes successfully.

If Cygwin services are running while Cygwin Setup is running, Cygwin components in use can not be updated, and you should get a Restart to update prompt.

If you can not control the services, you should not run Setup: it should all be packaged into a script run elevated by those who have control.
