Do I only need to replace the cygwin1.dll, or should I download and

replace the cygwin1.dll I would recomend rebooting afterwards before
testing just to be sure everything is using the new version.
You can't replace a running DLL so this should be unnecessary. If you
can overwrite cygwin1.dll with a new version then you should be all set.
If this wasn't the case, I'd be rebooting all day long.
I don't know if the above is clear or not but what I was trying to say was
that if anything else was using cygwin1.dll, you wouldn't be able to copy
over it. You *have* to stop all running cygwin processes before replacing
cygwin1.dll so, given that, there is no reason to reboot if you have
successfully managed to copy over, e.g., c:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll .

Um... even though there is only one copy of cygwin1.dll on the system, my
background cygwin/s server causes problems every upgrade. It seems that
setup does succeed in replacing cygwin1.dll. Bash dies with the version
mismatch error. But as soon as I kill the x server, everything works.
Unless there is something funky going on it seems the in use dll is being
replaced.
