system shared memory mismatch problem

Hi,
I installed/uninstalled cygwin couple of times, previously. When I
install a new version (1.5.24) now, I get the following error, when I
start any app:
*************
C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\xinit.exe (2936): *** system shared memory
version mismatch detected - 0x2D1E009C/0x75BE0081.
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 searched on my drive and the only cygwin1.dll is x:\cygwin\bin. I
uninstalled cygwin (as recommended at the FAQ) cleaned registry entries
and path, etc.., rebooted and installed cygwin again. I continue to see
the same problem.
Is there a way to find which app is creating the shared memory area? Any
help is appreciated. How can I fix this without having to reimage my
machine?
Thanks.
Murali.
