That is odd ... (I am using the same version of Cygwin as you do, do I
not?)

64-@@ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-6.1 Seven 2.12.0s(0.333/5/3) 2019-01-21 10:25 x86_64 Cygwin
(however, I only replaced the cygwin1.dll)

(the snapshot is apparently not the same as your version 2.12.0)

Understood.

Not relevant in this case, as the file has been deleted ... (i.e., in this
case, it cannot be opened by name).
