True enough, I can try uninstalling it now that I use cygwin exclusively, but I concur that it is probably not the problem. > > You really haven't given us enough to go on here.

It's *not* from LoadLibrary() nor dlopen(). I also know because when launched in cmd.exe, I get the usual Windows dialog about missing DLL. It's the same dialog when you double-click on the executable in Windows Explorer. The name of the DLL would not tell you much, since one of our own DLL. I was mostly curious why the difference in behavior and how to get the "standard" behavior instead of silent failure. I suspected that the way cygwin launches program was by first supressing system dialogs. ( I don't remember the trick off hand, but I remember reading about it about how to supress error dialogs when accessing CD-ROM drives that may not contain media.)
