Well, if it's really a fresh install, the full rebase just has happened, so
if there's still a fork problem it has to be BLODA.
To the OP: if you're using any third-party anti-virus solution, please try
if exempting the Cygwin install directory from the real-time and/or
heuristic scans helps. In some cases you can re-enable those functions
after a manual full scan, but you would likely run into the same problem
again when the Cygwin packages get updated.

Achim.
