Please don't top-post.  Thanks.

No.  Just download the DLL and only install the DLL in place of the old
DLL.  Installing the tar inst file under Cygwin doesn't effectively
replace the Cygwin DLL.  You should exit all(!) Cygwin processes, mopve
the release DLL out of the way, and move the new DLL in place.

Sorry, this isn't helpful.  Make sure you're *really* using the correct
Cygwin DLL from the snapshot (uname -a), and if the above sequence
really fails to work, first call `attrib dac.txt' before calling rm to
see if the R/O attribute is set, then call rm under strace again and
send the strace.  Also, if the R/O attribute gets set in the above
sequence, I have to know where it comes from.  As I said, Cygwin does
not set the flag at all for normal files, not even in chmod.
