If you had Cygwin processes running, cygwin1.dll was locked and could not
be replaced by setup.  As a result, you got newer apps installed, but
tried running them with an older cygwin1.dll, which was missing some
functions.

Reboot.  Setup uses the "replace on reboot" flag if it's unable to
overwrite a file.  If you reboot, your cygwin1.dll should be updated to
the newer version.  If not, please get back to the list with the output of
"cygcheck -svr" as an uncompressed text *attachment* (as indicated in
<http://cygwin.com/problems.html>).
