Oh, well, yeah -- that would work if I were allowed to do so.  However,
remember "paranoid corporate IT policies"?  Avecto Privilege Guard is
actually a product that $MYCORP installed to allow them even
finer-grained controlled over "what I'm allowed to do with my office PC"
than traditional Windows domain security policies can manage. Including
such things as "interfering with Avecto Privilege Guard" by modifying
some of its DLLs...

$ cmd /c cygcheck -cd cygwin

Yeah, that works. Thanks.

Yeah, I can see that.  AFAIK, cygcheck is the only official tool that
dynloads cygwin1.dll, so it is likely that I will only ever see /this/
particular problem (cygwin1.dll/dcrt0.c issues mismatch warning after
cygwin1.dll is dynloaded by non-cygwin application) with cygcheck.

Looks like I'm going to alias cygcheck to 'cmd /c c:/cygwin/bin/cygcheck'...
