From your cygcheck.out:

Warning: There are multiple cygwin1.dlls on your path

Get rid of the one in 'c:\Tools\Foundstone\'.  This is most
likely your problem.

Get rid of "ntea" in your CYGWIN environment variable.  You don't
need it and it could get in your way.

Well how about that; it worked.


I just renamed the other cgywin1.dll to cygwin1.dll.OLD and took NTEA
out of my CYGWIN environment variable and emptying the recycle bin
worked perfectly.

I don't know which piece of advice did the trick, but thanks.


I expect the former was the biggest help for this problem.  The latter
will likely avoid problems in the future for you. :-)
