Your WAG was totally right. I had some Acrobat plugin called PDFmerge that had an old copy of cygwin1.dll in a 'hidden' folder that didn't turn up on previous searches for 'cygwin'. Deleted it, re-installed and everything's working great now.
Thanks SO much, i'm so happy to be able to use Cygwin now.
Sorry it was such a half-baked problem.
