There seems to be a problem with using the latest emacs and latest cygwin dll together. I updated my cygwin release yesterday in hopes of fixing the broken openssh/git problem (which wasn't fixed!). However, in the process I lost emacs. Behavior: all versions of emacs currently available with the cygwin installer (i.e. 23.3-{1,2}) fail silently. Under slightly more investigation, it turns out that they were failing because of a missing routine: _feinitialise(). A little investigation suggests to me that perhaps this routine got added to the 1.7.8 release and removed from the 1.7.9 release. So, I backed out to 1.7.8 dll and emacs worked again. I suspect that emacs needs to be recompiled to work with 1.7.9.
