Anyone know how to "check out" older versions of cygwin1.dll? I could try
to run a few different ones, I have the latest (1.7.18), and the one from
the JtR we use because of an OMP bug, but there may be others worth trying
as well, just in case... Once I'm in front of my computer I'll try what i
have from yesterday's bleeding DL.
