According to FischRon.external AT infineon DOT com on 6/30/2005 1:25 AM:

[OT: Your mailer is not providing a name alongside your email address, so
I had to manually munge the address.  Mozilla Thunderbird automatically
avoids quoting email addresses in a reply only if the sender has listed a
name - does anyone on the list know of a plugin to make Thunderbird behave
more reasonably?]

Cygwin 1.3.22?  Wow, that's old, and unsupported!  And in two places,
C:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll and c:\Program Files\OpenSSH\bin\cygwin1.dll?
That's just asking for trouble!  You can probably just delete the Program
Files\OpenSSH version, then update your installation using setup.exe
(there have been so many bugs fixed between 1.3.22 and 1.5.17 that it
isn't even funny), before any other help from this list will be useful.
And who knows, doing the update may even resolve your issue with chmod, so
use the unexpected behavior of chmod as your justification that your
system is no longer a running system.
