Again, this is very bad.

Unfortunately, ipc-daemon will *not* output correctly in a bash or cmd
window.  Do you have rxvt installed?  If so, then try again in an rxvt
window.  Otherwise, do the following in a cmd window:

    C:\> ipc-daemon --version 2>ipc-ver.txt
    C:\> cat ipc-ver.txt
    ipc-daemon : Cygwin IPC Package Version 1.13 (c) 1998 PCH/LLA, ...

Did you ever have a previous cygipc version installed?  If the old
version was running when you installed the new one, the new ipc-daemon
would not have been installed.
