problems with latest cygwin version CYGWIN_NT-5.1 ELEPHANT 1.5.19(0.150/4/2) 2006-01-20 13:28 i686 Cygwin

[Ron Rice & Helga Holtmann]

Since updating Cygwin to the above version using setup.exe, I have not been
able to run either Xwin or WindowMaker:
 
$startxwin.sh
 
user@ELEPHANT ~
$ C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\XWin.exe (2536): *** proc magic mismatch detected
- 0C87757A7/0xD94C588A. This problem is probably due to using incompatible
versions of the cygwin DLL. Search for cygwin1.dll using the Windows
Start->Find/Search facility and delete all but the most recent version.  The
most recent version *should* reside in x:\cygwin\bin, where 'x' is the drive
on which you have installed the cygwin distribution.  Rebooting is also
suggested if you are unable to find another cygwin DLL.
C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\wmaker.exe (3308): *** proc magic mismatch detected

versions of the cygwin DLL. Search for cygwin1.dll using the Windows

There is a cygwin1.dll in /cygdrive/c/cygwin/bin:
 
$ ll /cygdrive/c/cygwin/bin/cygwin1.dll
-rwxrwxrwx+ 1 user Users 1805448 Jan 20 10:28 
-rwxrwxrwx+ /cygdrive/c/cygwin/bin/cygwin1.dll
 
$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.1 ELEPHANT 1.5.19(0.150/4/2) 2006-01-20 13:28 i686 Cygwin
 
I have already rebooted the computer several times, and have not had
problems running these applications prior to this download. What further
steps do I need to take to fix this?
