Re: cygwin1.dll suddenly does not work anymore

This is what I run in a dailly basis:

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.

I did the search. There is only one cygwin1.dll in my whole drive (only one
partition). Also, "C:\cygwin\bin" is in the %path% and I ran rxvt.exe from the
"C:\cygwin\bin" folder. Other binaries return the same error. Only the first
caracters change.

Other returns:
     35 [main] ? (5544) C:\cygwin\bin\grep.exe:
     31 [main] ? (5616) C:\cygwin\bin\ls.exe:
     35 [main] ? (5368) C:\cygwin\bin\less.exe:
     28 [main] ? (2328) C:\cygwin\bin\ssh.exe:

I also deleted cygwin1.dll and reinstalled the cygwin package.
1.5.24-cr-0x5f1 is the product version.

Also, did you just update? Were you asked to reboot? Did you?
