Well, I was expecting a note when it was in fact available.

Tried it, and I'm not able to open a shell with it. I have rebooted, so
it's not some stray old process holding on to the previous dll.

What I did: bunzip2 of the snapshot dll, shut down all cygwin processes,
swapped in the snapshot dll as /bin/cygwin1.dll, ran the cygwin
shortcut.

The cmd window appears and disappears.

So then I tried to reboot, but no effect.

Cheers,
Peter
