On the 32-bit system cygwin installs that haven't been updated yet 'run.exe' shows:
$ ls -l /usr/bin/run.exe
-rwxr-xr-x 1 Administrator None 65053 Jul 24 2013 /usr/bin/run.exe
On a 32-bit system with this latest cygwin 'run.exe' shows:
$ ls -l /usr/bin/run.exe
-rwxr-xr-x 1 SYSTEM SYSTEM 66077 Jun 9 13:16 /usr/bin/run.exe
Filesize is different so something has changed there.
