This turns out to be a bash issue, reflecting the fact that time is
*both* a bash builtin and an external command (even in linux); see
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2009-04/msg00728.html
My problem was that I hadn't installed cygwin's time package to get the
external /usr/bin/time. Linux users would never come up against this
problem because /usr/bin/time is probably installed by default.
