Well no it happen with some of the recent snapshots too on certain XP
systems. It is a Cygwin1.dll issue on XP. Because XP is still under Beta
testing therefore there is no sense in trying to fix Cygwin1.dll while
things XP could change.
He can try Cygwin1.dll from all the latest snapshots, but it may or may not
work.... therefore I said it is unsupported.
