@subsection Is it OK to have multiple copies of the DLL?
It is a very bad idea to have multiple *versions* of the cygwin DLL in
your path. They often conflict in funny ways.
You should only have one copy of the Cygwin DLL on your system. If you
have multiple versions, they will conflict and cause problems.
If you get the error "shared region is corrupted" it means you have
multiple versions of cygwin1.dll running at the same time.
If you do have multiple versions, get rid of (or rename) all the older
versions, keeping only the newest one.
It should be OK to have multiple copies of the *same* DLL in your path,
though.
multiple versions of cygwin1.dll running at the same time. This could
happen, for example, if you update cygwin1.dll without exiting @emph{all}
Cygwin apps (including inetd) beforehand.
@subsection Where can I find "more"?
