On NT4 with CYGWIN=ntsec, I found it necessary to right-click on
c:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll in explorer, properties, permissions,
and grant read-access to everyone.  Before I did that, I got
"application failed to initialize" error pop-up whenever I tried to
invoke any Cygwin application.

It might not happen to everyone, and it has come up on the list
before.  But I thought it worth mentioning, in case others encounter
this and would otherwise be quite confused.

Beyond that, with this snapshot, I have no trouble doing the things I
normally do on NT4.  (inetd, sshd, xemacs, rsync)

Thanks,
David
