in this case

cygwin                                   1.7.16-1                      OK

2235k 2012/05/09 D:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll - os=4.0 img=1.0 sys=4.0
                   "cygwin1.dll" v0.0 ts=2012/5/9 10:25
     Cygwin DLL version info:
DLL version: 1.7.15

so if reboot does not work, than Josef you need to re-install the
cygwin- 1.7.16-1   package

Marco
