Actually, both DLLs happened to be identical, but nevertheless I removed
the version sitting in the OpenSSH directory, and adjusted the PATH so
that
ssh now uses the version in C:\cygwinbin.

Unfortunately, it doesn't. chmod behaves still as before :-(
I have enclosed an updated cygcheck log. Because of the upgrade, I now
also
have the 'stat' command, so here is the output of stat. Note that x is a
file where chmod does not work, while y is a "good" file:
$ stat x y
File: `x'

Any more suggestions what to do?
