Good point well argued -- the depends list isn't the problem. I would 
have caught the problem earlier if I'd been thorough and built a full 
dependency list for subversion and reinstalled each one, not just the 
first level dependencies.

Of course now I know about strace/cygcheck I'm much better armed to 
diagnose this sort of problem in the future :)

Yep, that's the bunny, no question.

(Still an open question if everyone who hits this problem has the same 
cause, and whether the setup.exe package update run somehow misinstalled 
cygz.dll (or even removed it.) Alternately, it was merely something I did.)
