I agree, it's not Octave's fault :-) However, Octave is the only application
I can find that fails cygcheck: gcc, perl, python, vim, ls, locate, whatever
I could think of, all generate a list of dlls when I run cygcheck.

I was surprised by the path. My base windows path has a single instance of
cygwin\bin. I have no idea why there are multiples (perhaps leftover cruft
from earlier installations?). I'm not sure I see why multiple sets of a
correct path would cause problems. Zonealarm can cause problems, yes, but
again I'm not sure I understand why zonealarm would discriminate against
cygcheck octave, as opposed to cygcheck everything else.

Anyway, thank you very much for your help.
