Typically a rebase problem. Either run dash from Windows Explorer and
start /bin/rebaseall (with(!) full path), or you might try to run setup
to update. This will with high probablity run the auto-rebase feature
automatically.
Another reason for the above problem could be that some process on the
machine is still running with an old version of the DLL. THis often
occures due to a Cygwin update while some Cygwin processes were still in
use.
