Is this perhaps same problem or a side effect as discussed in in 
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.os.cygwin/131027/focus=131095?

So I think SEP will install hook DLLs - regardeless SEP is active or inactive.
And if dll loading is done via native cygwin and loaded again for forking 
perhaps it's real name normalize by SEP is different to the already loaded 
name by cygwin.

Can you tell me where this checking is done.
So I can instrument it in same way as last time ... 
or like in http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.os.cygwin/131027/focus=131095.

I think it's not the same code - using full dll name rather than just the 
basename od the dll.

best regards

Heiko
