I tried this, too, and I can't reproduce it.  Is it possible that,
when you copied the desktop shortcut, you didn't fix the "Start In:"
directory in the shortcut, so that it still points to the Cygwin 1.5
bin directory?  In that case you have different processes running
under different Cygwin DLLs within the same session, which is not
going to work as expected.
