update cygwin and now X wont start!

["Rafael Tapia" <hiowatha at hotmail dot com>]

Hi Everyone,
   Today I decided to update my cygwin (probably had not done it in about 3 
months) but now it just crashes on me when I try to start X.  I did check 
out mailing list archives and google but no dice.  I can't seem to get it to 
work again.

I am trying to run this on WinXP SP2,on an IBM ThinkPad.  Again I want to 
make it clear that it was working this morning.  I did not change any 
network/firewall settings.  I do have a firewall up but it was working fine 
before the update.

Here is the message I am getting:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

tapiar@wtapiar /tmp

Cywin was working perfectly fine before I updated this morning :-(

I have tried to updating the permissions on C:\cygwin\tmp but no dice.  I 
saw some mention(s) about this issue being related to a Window's firewall, 
so what's the work around?  Why would updating cywin cause it to get blocked 
now?

In any case, I do hope someone has some suggestions to get me up and running 
again.  Thank You.

Rafael
