Hello!

I have read several messages stating that dlopen does not work for dlls
that depend on cygwin1.dll.
(e.g. http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2004-06/msg01056.html).
I have also understood that this is due to some structures not being
initialized in that case.

Is this dlopen problem limited to non-cygwin apps? I.e. is it true
that an app that depends directly on the cygwin1.dll is incapable of
dlopening dlls that depend on cygwin1.dll?

Regards,
Peter Ekberg
