Hi All

I've been running Cygwin V1.1 very happily since it came out. Yesterday
I tried to run sitecopy-cygwin-0.10.7.exe, which complained about missing 
cygintl.dll. This looked like part of gettext, which my cygwin didn't have
yet, so I ran setup.exe to upgrade to the current distro (my first big
cygwin upgrade). 

Now, all of a sudden, I get:

C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe: *** Shared region version mismatch.  Version 1A !=
1E.
Are you using multiple versions of cygwin1.dll?
Run 'cygcheck -r -s -v' to find out.

(I get exactly the same error when I attempt to run 'cygcheck -r -s -v'.)
I searched http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/ for 'shared and (region or 
regions) and (version or versions) and (mismatch or mismatched or 
mismatching or mismatches)'. This turned up a thread with passages like:

> Haven't you seen people complaining about the "Shared region version
> mismatch" error with cygwin?
( http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2000-08/msg01243.html )

which at least shows that I'm not alone. It suggests that the problem
might be having more than one copy of cygwin1.dll in the path. I have
only C:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll , so that doesn't seem to be my 
problem. Could anyone point me at how some of those other people who
were complaining about shared region version mismatches resolved their
problems?
