Fixed it.  Dependency walker showed that my bash had a dependency to
ncurses, ncurses had the broken entry point dependancy into
cygwin1.dll.  So i just rolled back ncurses to the last version.  Also
had to roll back mintty for the same reason.  In the process of
rolling everything back that got updated by this last failed update.
Happy days.
