Since you're the only one who has reported such troubles (and I assume that
you mean cygwin 1.1.2) and there have been many releases since, I'd have to
surmise that the problem is in your environment.  Since you didn't provide
much information to go on, I'm going to guess that your attempts to update
were not complete, either because you chose to update only certain packages
or because of some network/setup problem that got you only some of the 
packages.  I'd recommend trying to update again, using setup.exe.  If you
still have problems, send the output of cygcheck -s -r -v to the list and 
someone may be able to help you spot where your problem is.
