This is not a ddrescue bug. It is an unfortunate backward 
incompatibility of new /bin/cygstdc++-6.dll 4.5.3-3 with some programs 
build with previous 4.3.4-4.

Possible workarounds:
- use Cygwin setup.exe to downgrade package libstdc++6 to previous 
4.3.4-4, or
- put both ddrescue.exe and old cygstdc++-6.dll 4.3.4-4 to a separate 
directory (e.g. /usr/local/bin), or
- rebuild ddrescue from source, or
- wait for next ddrescue package. I will upload it after 1.15 final is 
released.

Thanks,
Christian
