Cygwin upgrade

I'm upgrading to 1.7.1 from the previous version which I was pretty good 
at keeping up to date.

I ran into a problem installing openssh which locked the install forcing 
me to cancel.  I stopped the openssh service and cygwin service and 
tried again.  It completed with me ok'ing past pointer errors on certain 
packages from the previous install attempt.  I restarted and now get the 
message:

"The procedure entry point __ctype_ptr__ could not be located in the 
dynamic link library cygwin1.dll."

I'm running XP service pack 2.  I haven't rebooted the box yet so maybe 
that has something to do with it?  The thought was that reboot in Cygwin 
terms was restarting Cygwin.  I'll try the box now and report back tomorrow.


Regards - Tod
