uname -a
to find out what version of the cygwin1.dll you have
For example: CYGWIN_NT-6.0-WOW64 INCONSPICUOUS 1.7.0(0.212/5/3)
2009-09-11 01:25 i686 Cygwin

My version 1.7 /bin directory has ~ 1000 files in it.  You probably
just don't have all the packages installed you had for version 1.5.

Thanks.
