After downloading the latest updates arount 7PM tonight, I ended up with 
strange version numbers:

For dll 1.5
    $ cd /c/cygwin/bin
    $ ls -lc cygwin1.dll                                            
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 Paul Paul 1872884 Mar  4 04:01 cygwin1.dll
    $ strings /bin/cygwin1.dll | grep "/cygwin-[0-9]" | tail -1 | sed -e 
"s/^.*\/cygwin-/ /" -e "s/\/.*$//"
 1.5.25-15

For cygwin 1.7
    cd /c/cygwinIV/bin
    $ ls -lc cygwin1.dll
-rwxr-xr-x 1 Paul Administrators 2464286 Jul 31 13:51 cygwin1.dll
    $ strings /bin/cygwin1.dll | grep "/cygwin-[0-9]" | tail -1 | s >
 1.5.25-15

Every window that is opened displays the current Version string in the 
banner area.   What gives!!  Sizes are consistance but Version #?
