Your WAG was totally right.  I had some Acrobat plugin called PDFmerge 
that had an old copy of cygwin1.dll in a 'hidden' folder that didn't 
turn up on previous searches for 'cygwin'.  Deleted it, re-installed and 
everything's working great now.

Thanks SO much, i'm so happy to be able to use Cygwin now.

Sorry it was such a half-baked problem.
