Chris,

	I removed all cygwin1.dlls except the one in /bin.  I ensured that my
Control Panel PATH had E:\cygwin\bin at the start.

	I then tried to restart inetd and got an error stating that no
cygwin1.dll could be found in a path that I have no recollection of.  It
starts with e:\cygwin\usr\bin and then has multiple entries for windows system
directory (I hasten to add that they all point to the same directory and none
of them contain cygwin1.dll).

	So I tried creating a symlink from /bin to /usr/local/bin but although
this started the inetd service I still get the original problem...bash failed
to initialise properly.

	Can you tell me where this crazy path might have come from?

Thanks,

Jim
