This suggests you have a *really* old version of cygwin1.dll loaded in
memory.  If true, sounds to me like you're the victim of a 3PP

Not surprising since the problem isn't coming from your Cygwin installation.

Why are you looking inside your Cygwin installation for the rogue
cygwin1.dll?  Do you think that the Cygwin installer is going to
install two incompatible versions on your system?  Look for cygwin1.dll
in *other* locations on your disk.  When you find one outside of the
Cygwin install tree, remove it.

If you're still having problems after doing the above, then
