Of course it's up to date...

That is not BLODA.  That's the standard list of libraries.  I changed 
nothing; it worked yesterday; today it didn't.  Every other Cygwin 
executable I've tried works without problem.  I even tried reextracting 
the files from perl_base.

I'm not going to recompile all my modules and rework the new lib paths 
until I have a really good reason to.

I'ld be happy to run any other diagnostic command anyone can think of.


Thanks.
