Only one Cygwin1.dll is in X:\XXXXXXXXXX\cygwin\bin. 1.5.20-1 is the most recent version of Cygwin1.dll, and that was installed from a *GENUINE* copy of setup.exe. And I know that rebooting my Windows 2000 Professional SP4 box won't help. I did that a million times (simply shutting down the computer when I'm not using it, and then turning it on when I am) already. --- Had to downgrade to 1.5.19-4 for everything to go back to normal.
