There seems to be a problem with using the latest emacs and latest
cygwin dll together.
I updated my cygwin release yesterday in hopes of fixing the broken
openssh/git problem (which wasn't fixed!). However, in the process I
lost emacs.
Behavior: all versions of emacs currently available with the cygwin
installer (i.e. 23.3-{1,2}) fail silently.
Under slightly more investigation, it turns out that they were failing
because of a missing routine: _feinitialise().
A little investigation suggests to me that perhaps this routine got
added to the 1.7.8 release and removed from the 1.7.9 release. So, I
backed out to 1.7.8 dll and emacs worked again. I suspect that emacs
needs to be recompiled to work with 1.7.9.
My uninformed $0.02.
