Subject: Re: cygpath hangs from postinstall scripts when called like$(cygpath -S) but not otherwise

I ran cygcheck on cygpath, and was surprised to discover
that it has a dependence on msvcrt (as well as cygwin1):

$ cygcheck /bin/cygpath.exe
D:/cygwin/bin/cygpath.exe
  D:/cygwin/bin\cygwin1.dll
    D:\WINNT\system32\KERNEL32.dll
      D:\WINNT\system32\NTDLL.DLL
  D:\WINNT\system32\SHELL32.DLL
    D:\WINNT\system32\GDI32.DLL
      D:\WINNT\system32\USER32.DLL
    D:\WINNT\system32\ADVAPI32.DLL
      D:\WINNT\system32\RPCRT4.DLL
    D:\WINNT\system32\SHLWAPI.DLL
      D:\WINNT\system32\msvcrt.dll
    D:\WINNT\system32\COMCTL32.DLL

I thought that using the msvcrt and cygwin1 dll's in
the same executable was likely to cause crashes or hangs -
is this no longer the case, or could this be the problem
with the postinstall?
