And Chris Faylor explained them. The Xygwin people didn't bother to change

the usual issues (i.e. it is impossible) involved with multiple versions of
cygwin1.dll still apply in this case.

Won't help - we know the problem already - as above - multiple DLL versions
trying to use the same shared resources.
