I had this a month or two back when I was testing a new mintty release,
I had updated "other stuff" at the same time.  I thought it was a 
problem with mintty and had intended to report it, but I had to reboot 
before I'd fully investigated it.  After rebooting, I was unable to 
reproduce the problem.

Perhaps you just need to reboot too?

NB, I didn't get any warnings about in-use files, which is why I hadn't
already rebooted, so it's probably a more subtle issue than in-use DLLs.
