I am seeing unexpected behaviour when a DLL is missing. OS is Windows XP.

For example: rename /bin/cygneon-26.dll to something else.
Now, try to run "svn" in a bash shell. The program silently dies, with
exit code 53!

In contrast, if you double click on svn.exe, the usual windows message
box appears, explaining about the missing DLL, as expected

Does anyone know what might be causing this?

Max.
