Irritatingly, I can't reproduce that now. It might well have been
something to do with my setup because VirtualBox is causing all sorts of
annoying problems at the moment. I'll reply again with output if it
happens again.

I did find something else though:

If I make a temporary directory and move into it, and then copy
/bin/bash and /bin/cygwin1.dll into it, if I run "cygcheck
/bin/bash.exe" it then says it depends on the cygwin1 DLL in the current
directory rather than the one in /bin:

Hamish@Hamish-PC ~
$ mkdir temp2

Hamish@Hamish-PC ~
$ cd temp2

Hamish@Hamish-PC ~/temp2
$ cp /bin/bash.exe /bin/cygwin1.dll ./

Hamish@Hamish-PC ~/temp2
$ cygcheck ./bash.exe
C:\cygwin64\home\Hamish\temp2\bash.exe
  C:\cygwin64\home\Hamish\temp2\cygwin1.dll
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\KERNEL32.dll
      C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntdll.dll
      C:\WINDOWS\system32\KERNELBASE.dll
  C:\cygwin64\bin\cygiconv-2.dll
  C:\cygwin64\bin\cygintl-8.dll
  C:\cygwin64\bin\cygreadline7.dll
    C:\cygwin64\bin\cygncursesw-10.dll

Hamish@Hamish-PC ~/temp2
$ cygcheck /bin/bash.exe
C:\cygwin64\bin\bash.exe
  C:\cygwin64\home\Hamish\temp2\cygwin1.dll
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\KERNEL32.dll
      C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntdll.dll
      C:\WINDOWS\system32\KERNELBASE.dll
  C:\cygwin64\bin\cygiconv-2.dll
  C:\cygwin64\bin\cygintl-8.dll
  C:\cygwin64\bin\cygreadline7.dll
    C:\cygwin64\bin\cygncursesw-10.dll

Not sure if this classes as a bug, rather than an interesting quirk with
the search path order (I guess), but perhaps worth mentioning.
