In fact, ssh-agent (that i introduced recently in my profile, and which i normally kill by 'ssh-agent -k', was not actually killed this time since after the replacement of the cygwin1.dll launching a new process always fails) is the culprit. I will now always logoff/login after installing a new snapshot (and also try to double-check my reports more closely in the future...).
