You need to replace your cygwin1.dll with one from a recent snapshot:

    $ wget -nd ftp://ftp.freesoftware.com/.0/sourceware/cygwin/snapshots/cygwin1-20010319.dll.bz2
    $ bunzip2 cygwin1-20010319.dll.bz2
    $ # shutdown all Cygwin processes
    $ # using cmd or Windows Explorer rename cygwin1-20010319.dll to cygwin1.dll
    $ # using cmd or Windows Explorer move (new) cygwin1.dll to Cygwin's bin
