Thanks for the cygcheck output.  I didn't see anything suspicious, though.

I see another strace in the ps output.  Was that a failed attempt to
attach?  That could explain the message above.

Also, IIRC, strace from 1.5.5 could not use -p to attach (it was
temporarily broken).  Please try the one from the snapshot.

I'm out of ideas, though, as I'm not an emacs user.  Good luck!
