This doesn't happen for me with the DJGPP port of Grep 2.4.

What version of Grep do you have from Cygwin?

One thing I'd suggest to make sure is that all the lines in 1.txt have
the same end-of-line format (i.e. either they all end in a single
newline character or they all end in the CR-LF pair).  Mixed EOL
format can confuse Grep.
