[Swarm-Support] Windows 7 Cygwin -- can't find cygwin1.dll

[Steve Railsback]

Hi- Has anyone figured this one out? I installed Cygwin/Swarm on a new 
Windows 7 machine and it worked fine, for a while. Then it stopped 
(probably after some Windows update or because of installing some other 
software).

When I tried to re-install, Cygwin can't find some of the basic shell 
commands ("ls" etc.). Trying to use Make causes a segmentation fault, 
and if I try to run a compiled Swarm code a Windows error dialog pops up 
and says it can't find Cygwin1.dll.

Sometimes instead when trying to start a Swarm program there's a Cygwin 
error about being unable to allocate cygwin heap.

I suspect the Windows registry is messed up but haven't investigated 
that. Anyone else deal with this?

Thanks,

Steve R.
