Just to be safe, I did a find on my entire computer for "python2.0.dll".
I only found one -- the one that is part of my test case.

Bad main.exe:

    $ cygcheck -v ./main.exe
    ./main.exe - os=4.0 img=1.0 sys=4.0
      .\python2.0.dll - os=4.0 img=1.0 sys=4.0

          C:\WINNT\System32\KERNEL32.dll - os=4.0 img=4.0 sys=4.0
            "KERNEL32.dll" v0.0 ts=1999/7/20 17:19
            C:\WINNT\System32\ntdll.dll - os=4.0 img=4.0 sys=4.0

      C:\Cygwin\1.1.4\bin\cygwin1.dll (already done)
      C:\WINNT\System32\KERNEL32.dll (already done)

Good main.exe:

    $ cygcheck -v ./main.exe
    ./main.exe - os=4.0 img=1.0 sys=4.0
      C:\Cygwin\1.1.4\bin\cygwin1.dll - os=4.0 img=1.0 sys=4.0

        C:\WINNT\System32\KERNEL32.dll (already done)

So the above shows a "difference" in the ordering of the DLLs in
main.exe.  I also noticed this difference when fiddling about with
objdump -p:

Bad main.exe:

Good main.exe:

        vma:  Hint/Ord Member-Name
        4144        0  sub
        The Import Address Table is identical

Does any of the above shed more light on the situation?

Note that if I change the name to Python2.0.dll, python2.1.dll,
python20.dll, or anything else that I can think of, main.exe run normally
even though its DLL ordering is the same as python2.0.dll.

Thanks,
Jason
