I snipped irrelevant parts of the output, eg. long paths.
(FYI, the original log file is ~ 341.000 lines of output.)

It does work 90% of the time.
Under Cygwin 1.5.10, the problem is also there, and *MUCH* worse.
tar.exe, gzip.exe and sleep.exe are from *cough* 1.5.10 *cough*.
I was told that it doesn't matter as long as the Cygwin DLL
is a fresh nightly. I'll replace them with 1.5.12-1's and catch
the error again (prolly in a couple of days or so) if that's
better?
