If smartctl is run for an USB drive, a potential BLODA is reported:
# uname -sr
CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW64 1.7.15(0.260/5/3)
# echo $CYGWIN
detect_bloda
# /usr/sbin/smartctl -i /dev/sdb
smartctl 5.42 2011-10-20 r3458 [i686-pc-cygwin-win7(64)-sp1]
(cygwin-5.42-1)

smartctl uses WMI queries to retrieve USB Id for physical drive. This is
used to auto-detect ATA pass-through protocol provided by USB bridge.
Could these two DLLs possibly be added to the list of well known DLLs?
