Ron,
First off, you didn't seem to run "cygcheck -svr", as it's missing at
least the list of installed packages. Also, from your cygcheck output:
678k 2001/05/21 C:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll - os=4.0 img=1.0 sys=4.0
"cygwin1.dll" v0.0 ts=2001/5/21 5:28
Cygwin DLL version info:
dll major: 1003
dll minor: 2
dll epoch: 19
This doesn't look like a very recent version of the Cygwin DLL. I also
don't see the output of "id", which indicates an old version of cygcheck.
What version of Cygwin are you running?
