Recently someone posted that setup created blank passwd and group
files. I figured out how this happened, 'cause it happened to me. I
had a version of the cygwin1.dll open in memory. Even though I
installed in a different directory the mkpasswd and mkgroup programs
could not run and the result was empty files.
