I believe the 1.3.12-3 refers to the version of the main cygwin package,
not the dll.  See http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-08/msg00168.html
It's a question for the packagers whether the dll version should be
consistent with the package version.

It took the computational power of three Commodore 64s to fly to the moon.
