problems with latest cygwin version CYGWIN_NT-5.1 ELEPHANT 1.5.19(0.150/4/2) 2006-01-20 13:28 i686 Cygwin

[Ron Rice & Helga Holtmann]

Since updating Cygwin using setup.exe, I have not been able to run either
Xwin or WindowMaker:
 
$startxwin.sh
 
user@ELEPHANT ~
$ C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\XWin.exe (2536): *** proc magic mismatch detected
- 0C87757A7/0xD94C588A.
This problem is probably due to using incompatible versions of the cygwin
DLL.
Search for cygwin1.dll using the Windows Start->Find/Search facility
and delete all but the most recent version.  The most recent version
*should*
reside in x:\cygwin\bin, where 'x' is the drive on which you have
installed the cygwin distribution.  Rebooting is also suggested if you
are unable to find another cygwin DLL.
C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\wmaker.exe (3308): *** proc magic mismatch detected
- 0C87757A7/0xD94C588A.

There is a cygwin1.dll in /cygdrive/c/cygwin/bin:
 
$ ll /cygdrive/c/cygwin/bin/cygwin1.dll
-rwxrwxrwx+ 1 user Users 1805448 Jan 20 10:28
/cygdrive/c/cygwin/bin/cygwin1.dll
 
$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.1 ELEPHANT 1.5.19(0.150/4/2) 2006-01-20 13:28 i686 Cygwin
 
I have already rebooted the computer several times. What further steps do I
need to take to fix this?
