I'm assuming you meant 'cygwin1.dll'.  Having more than one copy of 
'cygwin1.dll' on your system is bound to cause problems.  There's no
reason that a copy of the DLL would work better than the original.  I
would recommend that you remove the copy.

Its hard to say with the description given so far.  You should look
at and follow <http://cygwin.com/problems.html> for problem reporting
guidelines.
