In my case, I installed cygwin a few months ago and yesterday I went to upgrade it and install several packages.
As it was going along it said that cygwin1.dll was busy so I pressed Continue and at the end it said a reboot was required. And so I rebooted the machine. When I logged back in, cygwin was not behaving correctly. ls, find, cat, cp, maybe more commands were not functioning correctly. The was after upgrading to 1.7.7. When I check cygcheck output it shows cygwin1.dll as 1.7.5. If I try and run strace, it fails with an error about a missing symbol. There were also a number of errors showing for postinstall scripts. Where in this process did either I or the install go wrong?
