Problem with releases since -37

[Harold L Hunt II]

Andrew,

Please do a manual file scan for multiple copies of cygwin1.dll.  Don't 
tell me anything about paths, just do the search and report how many 
copies you find.

For more info specific to this problem, see the following FAQ entry:

http://xfree86.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-xfree-faq.html#q-status-access-violation


I wouldn't doubt it if this problem is just exemplified by the new 
randomness of things that happen in releases after -37.  I would 
actually be surprised if we introduced a bug, since the crash seems to 
be in cygwin1.dll.
