It did happen, and as Marco pointed out, it was _announced_ that
it happened. If someone is using Cygwin, not following the mailing
list (at the very least the announce list), and updating the software
blindly, then there's not much else to be done. They're almost
guaranteed to run into problems.

This is no different than any other software on the planet —
blindly updating Linux versions without knowing what’s in the
update, or blindly updating Word without knowing what’s in
the update, and so on, leads to the same thing — problems
can, and will, happen.
