Fergus,

There's no need to Cc: me on the messages -- I read the list, and set
Reply-To for a reason.

If you were looking for a "me too", here it is: I could reproduce your
error ("The application failed to initialize properly (0xc00000fd)") on
Win2kPro SP3 with the 20040525 snapshot.  However, the error when running
cygcheck doesn't come from cygcheck itself, but rather from id.exe.  If
you click "Ok" on both errors (there are two invocations of id.exe by
cygcheck) and wait a bit, you'll get a cygcheck output.

I was waiting until I could find a mirror with 1.5.10, to see if this
error is reproducible with it (since it is, technically, the latest
"snapshot", right?).  I'll test it when it's available and report the
results here.
	Igor
