There is no mystery here. The version of cygwin1.dll that you're
looking at came from the 1.7.0-51 release. Maybe you're confused about
where you should be looking or maybe you have a process running which is
using this dll and, so, could not have been updated by setup. If it is
the latter then rebooting would help.
Regardless, this isn't a problem with the release. It's a problem with
your installation.
