I don't know if the above is clear or not but what I was trying to say was
that if anything else was using cygwin1.dll, you wouldn't be able to copy
over it.  You *have* to stop all running cygwin processes before replacing
cygwin1.dll so, given that, there is no reason to reboot if you have
successfully managed to copy over, e.g., c:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll .
