I did tlmgr --all this morning and since then pdftex and luatex are
non functional

$ pwd
/usr/local/texlive/2018/bin/x86_64-cygwin

$ file ./pdftex.exe
./pdftex.exe: PE32+ executable (console) x86-64 (stripped to external
PDB), for MS Windows

$ ./pdftex.exe

That is, it just terminates: no error message

I tried rebooting to see if it was some shared dll issue but no difference.

Not sure what to try next (Word perhaps:-)
