  These two don't go together.  Methinks the system was not actually as
clean as you may have believed.  Snarf yourself a copy of the cygcheck
executable and stash it in a directory somewhere safe; then clean your
system the same way you did before; then run "cygcheck -s -v -r >
cygcheck.out" and send the resulting file to the list ****as an attachment
please**** and we'll take a look at it.  Maybe there's some 3rd party
application installed on that machine that depends on cygwin and comes with
its own copy that is interfering.  (See http://cygwin.com/acronyms#3PP)
