Sorry Chris.  I should've been more clear.  I haven't seen this issue 
myself.  However, I wanted to make sure that implied unloading of the 
cygwin1.dll in your steps above was part of the test, which was my main
reason for asking the question.  Obviously, the DLL won't unload if 
services that depend on it are still in place.  I can neither confirm nor
deny a bug in this area however.

Sorry.
