This is a good point.  One of the first steps when a command seems to
be having problems is to do a which on the command to find out
where it is coming from, i.e.

which ln 

that in my case returns

/usr/bin/ln

See my post from a earlier today about multiple copies of cygwin1.dll.
I thought I was pretty smart about that, but I found an application,
ds9, had put not one, but maybe two different versions of cygwin1.dll
on my system.
