I tried reinstalling a previous version, updating again, the message remains. Fortunately, in most cases, the programs still run. Once, however, gcc would not run anymore and compiled programs didn't run either after this error. On the web, I found the following message about a recent change that involves this entry point, might it be related? * From: corinna at cygwin dot com * To: cygwin-cvs at cygwin dot com * Date: 16 Sep 2004 09:14:29 -0000 * Subject: src/winsup/cygwin ChangeLog cygwin.din lib/_cy ...
