When I've had this problem, it's been a permission issue. If you use
wget or some other cygwin tool to download the snapshot, then it will
not set the exec permissions. But when you copy a file using explorer,
it will set the exec permissions.

May seem sort of newbish, but I just noticed that one cannot move cygwin1.dll
into place after removing the old one. For instance, if I download a snapshot
to some tmp directory, exit all cygwin related apps and use explorer to move
the new dll from the tmp to c:\cygwin\bin - I'll get the standard crop of
bad dll related failures. However if I *copy* the file (ctrl-drag) things
work fine. I presume this is some kind of windows dll manipulation thing or
is it just my system?
