  This problem is probably due to using incompatible versions of the cygwin
DLL.  Search for cygwin1.dll using the Windows Start->Find/Search facility
and delete all but the most recent version.  The most recent version
*should* reside in x:\cygwin\bin, where 'x' is the drive on which you have
installed the cygwin distribution.  Rebooting is also suggested if you are
unable to find another cygwin DLL.

  Well, you didn't mention anything about your having done so, so I assume
you didn't.

    cheers,
