I wonder if something has changed in either Windows 2000 or in >cygwin that makes cygwin1.dll more persistent than it used to be? I also remove the cygwin1.dll from the tools directory. A few months ago I had some other errors occurring after a cygwin upgrade; I can't remember what they were. The response I got to a question about it on a Cygwin list was that it was impossible for a newer cygwin1.dll not to work with older programs, since they always maintain compatibility; since I had evidence that this was not true, but not time to try to argue about it, I basically gave up on the problem. Right now I'm using version 1.5.5-1 of the cygwin package; I believe the current one is 1.5.8-1. I'm also using 1.2.2-1 of the cygutils package, and the current one is 1.2.5-1. Since this combination works, I'd rather not upgrade.
