Yes, it seams weird. I'm checking the Version # being extracted from
the DLL itself since I can't find any other way to get it. My
/cygwin/bin is 1.5 and /cygwinIV is 1.7-xx. Here is cgychk from my 1.5
release:
$ chgchk -s

Now I'm running my cygwin 1.7 instance:
cygcheck -s
Well with the corrupt DLL, I could NOT run any 1.7 environment shells to
open up a window. I did however restore from my Jul 29 backups a copy
of the cygwin1.dll and I was able to start up my envorinment without any
problems; and it is 1.7.0-51 !!! Now the version is consistance with
its size. Has anyone else recently updated their cygwin1.dll to find it
corrupt? Regarding my "arcane method'. do you know of any easier method
to extract this information? I'm listening.
I don't understand the cygwin's download that went haywired on me earlier.
