Um... even though there is only one copy of cygwin1.dll on the system, my 
background cygwin/s server causes problems every upgrade. It seems that 
setup does succeed in replacing cygwin1.dll. Bash dies with the version 
mismatch error. But as soon as I kill the x server, everything works.

Unless there is something funky going on it seems the in use dll is being 
replaced.
