No cygwin related services running. Absolutely nothing cygwin related running at all. I launch setup, after downloading the new packages and what not, and I get an error extracting the python package. Particularly it could not write C:\cygwin\bin\libpython2.1.dll I tried 2 times to get it to go, ensuring all processes were stopped. Finally, I had to manually delete /bin/libpython2.1.dll that already existed, then rerun setup to get it to complete the update. I got around it, but I thought the maintainers should know. I am running the latest cygwin, 1.3.3, on NT 4 SP 6a workstation.
