Which version of coolview did you get ? File date ?
What does your CYGWIN32 env var look like ?
Try "CYGWIN32=tty binmode title strip_title glob".
Do you use binary mounts ? I would suggest to switch to binary mounts
and convert all text files to Unix style line endings.
Did you stop all running cygwin32 programs, before replacing the .dll ?
Otherwise it will stay in memory.
