Hello,

Norton antivirus destroyed all my cygwin1.dll because it claims
that they were infected by a virus named backdoor.egghead.

Effectively in the original tarball the cygwin1.dll (of may 2001) has the 
same size but not the same cksum !!!
Size of the cygwin1.dll : 694064 octets
Cksum Original cygwin1.dll : 3820700647
Cksum supposed virus in cygwin1.dll 2946635389

Is there really this virus inside cygwin1.dll?
Some people encountered this problem (this virus has been discovered on 
February 11,2002).

Thanks.
JEM
