As long as the cygwin dll is not used, there's no reason... so it
looks like it's in use somewhere. but I'd swear windows had a caching
mechanism for dlls where they're not unloaded from memory at once
after being unused. there's even a reg key to tweak that flush delay
but it seems I can't put the finger on it anymore. Maybe that's it,
the cache mechanism doesn't check against changed file on the disk and
you should wait a bit before relaunching a cygwin process? That seems
somehow inconsistent though.
