Thanks, Larry.  She was logged in as a domain user - we
specifically logged out and logged back into the system
as a domain user in order to make sure that she hadn't
somehow managed to log in as a local user :-/

So, she *should* have had the username and id for a domain
user.  Something in cygwin (mkpasswd, cygwin1.dll, etc.)
seems to think she's the local user with the same username
for some reason.
