Re: Cygwin 3.0.1-1 Breaks ALL cygwin applications on Windows 7 x64

["Jerry Baker via cygwin" <cygwin at cygwin dot com>]

I have narrowed it down to cygwin1.dll. If I install cygwin 3.0.1-1 and 
overwrite cygwin1.dll with the 2.11.2-1 version, everything works. 
Likewise, if I install cygwin 2.11.2-1 and overwrite cygwin1.dll with 
the 3.0.1-1 version everything stops working.

Additional information about the broken applications: cygwin 
applications running under 3.0.1-1 show no output but a blinking cursor 
and do not respond to CTRL+C or ENTER keys.
