Thank you!  I didn't notice that earlier.  NOW I understand why the
coloring in 'ls' stopped working and all "regular" files appeared in red
-- it's because they're all seen as executables!

I believe it's something to do with the latest Cygwin.dll -- I didn't
have this problem two days ago, now it's there.

Also, and I don't know if this is related or not, but 'rxvt' has stopped
working under X too (though it works fine invoked straight from
Windows).  From an xterm, after running my normal alias:

------------------------------
$ C:\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe: *** unable to remap
C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\libX11.dll to same address as parent --
