Re: Loading gcc-compiled DLL with Java (JNI) crashes when using newer (>1.5.5) cygwin1.dll

The core Cygwin DLL (/bin/cygwin1.dll) has no support for dynamic loading.
You may have been lucky before in that the functionality you had in your
DLL didn't require the loading of the core one. Apparently this has
changed between 1.5.5 and 1.5.7.
Right. This seems to be, on the face of it, the same problem that bit
the WinCVS users - WinCVS looks for a tcl84.dll in the PATH and
automatically dynamically loads it, and if it happens to be a
Cygwin-compiled one, it hangs. This also changed after 1.5.6 - before
that, it would "work", for some definition of "working".
Someone (I see eyes turning this way :-) needs to debug this, at least
to understand what changed..
