No joy, exactly the same problem. uname -a reports
CYGWIN_NT-4.0 MENPC1 20.0 (0.1/1/1) -11-8 11:59:08 i486 unknown
I'm guessing the -11-8 is based upon build date of the DLL (8 Nov 98).
For example, I just tried
$ vi /tmp/oz
(hangs, ^C aborts)
$ export PATH=/bin:/mentor/bin:/usr/local/bin
$ vi /tmp/oz
/mentor/bin/: /mentor/bin/: Permission Denied
$ /mentor/bin/vi /tmp/oz
(throws me into vim as expected)
A find of cygwin find no other cygwin dll's in the path. My cygwinb19.dll
is a copy of the new b20 dll.
