I'm sorry.  I didn't understand that it was the extraction of
mingwc10.dll that was causing your problem.  I should have remembered
that as previous problem reports also indicated this.

Ok.  Now I understand the magic DLL problem.  This is very strange.

I wasn't suggesting that but it does sound like a plan.  You could
try:
	tar -f cygwin-1.1.1.tar.gz --delete usr/bin/mingwc10.dll

and then running "setup cygwin" to extract it (use the 'd' for disk
option).

I think that someone else reported this too.  Is there any way that you
could disable McAfee and try this?

Ok.  It doesn't sound like a cygwin-is-running issue anyway.
