Funny - setup.exe shows I have 1.7.6. I'm re-installing now. I think I know what happened. I had XWin running while doing the previous install, and the prompt occurred telling I couldn't overwrite certain files that were part of running processes. It told me I'd have to reboot - which was fine by me so I continued. Apparently something "fell down" in that whole train of events, and when the reboot later occurred, the cygwin1.dll must not have been actually replaced. I'll let you know if the re-install fixes things.
