One would think it were something typical like that. But I explicitly
issued a 'net stop sshd', 'net stop syslogd' and had task manager up
verifying every single cygwin related process was absolutely dead.
It wasn't until I moved the new snapshot dll out of c:\cygwin\bin and then
literally copied it back into the same directory that things worked as they
normally should. Previous to that I had just dragged (moved) the latest
snapshot dll from c:\cygwin\var\tmp\cygsnap to c:\cygwin\bin after moving
the old one out of the way (at this point all cygwin related processes
were dead). I wonder if it's a result of me renaming the new snapshot dll
to cygwin1.dll right before I exited my final cygwin shell. I would think
windows wouldn't even know that file was there yet (just sitting in some
temp directory). But I also know very little about window's behind the scenes
dll behavior.
