I do hope that you get your problems with 1.5.7 figured out at some point so that you're able to use it again, because as more programs are (re)built with it you may not be able to use them with 1.5.5.

You need to roll back the 'ash' package to the previous version as well, 20031007-1. This can be done with setup.exe. The current 20040127-1 version was built for Cygwin 1.5.7 and is one of a few programs that aren't backwards compatible with earlier versions of the DLL. Hope this helps!

How do I solve this problem? To the original poster, in case you couldn't make any sense of that, the english translation is: Current versions of Cygwin1.dll are backwards-compatible but older versions of Cygwin1.dll are not forwards-compatible, nor would it be possible for them to be. Running older versions of the DLL is not supported, as you would have to downgrade every other package on your system to a state that would maintain binary compatibility. It would be theoretically possible, of course, but you'd have to work out which versions of the DLL each package was compiled against and then hunt down enough previous versions of all those packages to satisfy those dependencies.
