Details:

I attempted submitting this by email to address@hidden, but it doesn't
show up here so will copy the text here:

I just downloaded and installed gforth. It doesn't look as though it
overwrote cygwin1.dll but something is clearly messed up. I'll try rebooting
but it doesn't look good:

installed the cygwin distribution.  Rebooting is also suggested if you
are unable to find another cygwin DLL.

After this, I rebooted, and sure enough, normal operation of Cygwin was
restored. But then, after attempting to run gforth, the error happened again.
After another reboot, I removed cygwin1.dll from \Program Files\gforth, and
that stopped the problem, but now gforth won't run: 

address@hidden /usr/src/uF
$ gforth
gforth: cannot open image file gforth.fi in path
.;/usr/local/lib/gforth/site-forth;
/usr/local/share/gforth/site-forth;
/usr/local/lib/gforth/0.6.2;
/usr/local/share/gforth/0.6.2 for reading

Now it thinks it was installed under Cygwin, I guess because it had to search
for a cygwin1.dll outside its installation directory? I'll probably figure out
a resolution to this, but the scariness of the bug made me want to post it
somewhere. The last time Cygwin crapped out on me it was an all-day job to
restore operation... thanks, guys -- jc
