Jeff,

Next time, please *attach* the output of cygcheck, as it confuses the
archive search (see <http://cygwin.com/bugs.html>).

Replies inline below.

setup.exe may have been unable to schedule some files for on-reboot
replacement.  See below.

Don't know what this one means, but it's been reported by other people.
FWIW, "net helpmsg 53" shows "The network path was not found." (on Win2k).

Note the "mkpasswd" as your group name.  Please read
<http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html#NTSEC-RELEASE1.3.20>.  I don't
think this is related to your problem, but it should be fixed nonetheless.

I don't know for sure, but the cygcheck "error 53" above could be related
to this.

This (and other similar warnings) is weird.  Looks like you have MKS tools
(or something like that) installed in c:\bin, but it's not in the path, so
it shouldn't be here.  Not related to your problem, though.

Now, this *is* related to your problem.  Notice that you still have the
old version of the cygwin DLL (as I surmised initially), even though you
have installed the new version of the package.  I'd guess you had a cygwin
process running while updating, and something prevented setup.exe to
schedule a replace-on-reboot for cygwin1.dll.  Reinstalling the "cygwin"
package should fix this.
