Hi, I have the same problem as in the January thread cited below: when starting the Cygwin shell I'm getting an error:
9 [main] bash 2040 init_cygheap::etc_changed: Can't open /etc for checking, Win32 error 1 I have checked that I don't have two cygwin1.dll in my PATH. When I rename the cygwin1.dll in the /bin directory to something else, I'm getting a message that cygwin1.dll is missing. So what can be the problem? BTW, when I do "which cygwin1.dll" from the shell it tells me: /usr/bin/cygwin1.dll There is no /usr/bin. Is this a part of the problem?

I'm not 100 % sure if this is connected to your ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Right! Never have two copies of cygwin1.dll in the DLL search path. Even worse if they have diverging versions.
