Loading Cygwin DLL from noncygwin apps (such as Java JNI) is broken
in Cygwin v1.0 CD version.

Your best bet is to pick a recent development snapshot and see if
that works. We can take it from there.

The root cause of the breakage is in winsup/entry.cc, where there
is a block in dll_entry() that looks like this:
  
  case DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH:
    if (! static_load)
      {
	/* ... */
      }
    break;

The code between the `if' block screws up dynamic loading of Cygwin DLL
from noncygwin apps.

Regards,
Mumit
