I just upgraded my first XP Pro machine from 1.5 to 1.7 - a couple of minor 
issues

Part of the post-install failed with many popup dialogs  - "The procedure entry 
point __ctype_ptr__ could not be located in the dynamic link library 
cygwin1.dll".  

After a reboot bash wouldn't start  - same error message.  Reinstalling the 
base package cleared this issue up. 

Cygwin.bat doesn't find my home directory (which is a sym link) rathe it prints 
a message telling me that there isn't a ./.bashrc in /usr/bin.   Looks like 
Cygwin.bat is identical between 1.5 and 1.7 but the behavior is different.    I 
thought this might be related to the mount point changes - but running 
copy-user-registry-fstab didn't change anything.    I did notice that this 
script uses $USER  which isn't set for me.   I set it and re-ran the script but 
I don't see any difference.    I never did see a /etc/fstab.d/$USER directory - 
but I don't have user mount points on this machine.  I also created a none sym 
link home directory but that didn't help either. 

Are other folks seeing this behavior ?   Any suggestions ?
