Thanks Corinna for the immediate fix. Essentially it seems to work.

*** What I did (possibly I've done something wrong) and the outcome:

1. downloaded/extracted the new cygwin1.dll and noted, that it is only
    2.6MB; saved the old one (3.3MB) and copied the new one over the old
    one in my restored Cygwin. Did a short test: everything fine.

2. started the Setup 32bit, updated 40 packages or so. Obviously the
    cygwin1.dll was in the update (was again 3.3MB) ... so same/similar
    post install errors as before.

3. copied the snapshot DLL again and redid the setup. This time 0
    packages to update, but the post install ran smoothly (needed
    considerable time) except for this message:
    -----
    Package: _/Unknown package
             xinit.sh exit code 3
    -----

I consider this harmless, because my X install was not OK from the
beginning and I don't need it really (have to uninstall soon).

I can start bash as usual (from within TotalCommander). All other
commands/scripts I tested seem to work smoothly.

So IMHO the patch was successful.

Many thanks again, Georg
