I've removed all of these and have only "correct" and "correctall" set
(btw: "interactive", "shinstdin" and "zle" are also set by default), but
still can't reproduce this. Sorry, I just can't seem to make it hang.

I think a better search mechanism might be to see what your system PATH
it set to, in the control panel, and do a Windows Find for cygwin1.dll
and see there is more than one in the PATH.
At this point, I think you need to go through the problem reporting
process as outlined in http://www.cygwin.com/problems.html.
Specifically, your cygcheck output. Additionally, I'd like you to run
'uname -a', 'setopt', 'env' and 'set' from within zsh with both "correct"
and "correctall" off.
Send all of that to the list, as attachments, and I'll analyse them.
