I'll keep trying it, but I've only seen it at work and I can't keep
rebooting!  I've got to do *some* work ;)

I'm *sure* I've seen it without having to reboot.  Are you planning
another release of the dll soon(ish)?  Does cygwin do anything if/when it
detects that the dll has changed?  I've tried 'touch'ing it, that didn't
trigger anything.
