I wonder if windows was looking in the current directory before memory
for the cygwin1.dll to run when loading gzip, and the target of the
compression got loaded.

Does your path have a . in it, or perhaps this is in the default
search path for dll's?

What happens if you go to a subdirectory and try 'gzip ../cygwin1.dll'
or go up a level and try 'gzip whatever/cygwin1.dll'?
