Ok, this is really odd...

I just noticed that every now and then, when I run a cygwin program
with the new DLL, it actually does work.  Maybe 10% of the time when I
invoke a shell, I actually get a working shell, which then appears to
be fully functional: all its children behave normally.  Also, once I
have a working shell running, I can also open new shells from the
desktop and they work 100% of the time.
