BTW, that version number above is the setup.exe version you used to install
Cygwin. To get the Cygwin version number you can run either of these

$ uname -r
$ cygcheck -c cygwin

from a Cygwin prompt.

This could be a rebase issue. Do you have apache installed? Even if you
don't installing the 'rebase' package and running rebaseall might help you.
Once you've downloaded/installed the package read
/usr/doc/Cygwin/rebase-2.2.README , which will give you instructions on how
to run rebaseall.
