No go after update to 1.7.1

[Stephen Grant Brown]

Hi All,

I have two versions of cygwin installed.
The first is before cygwin 1.7.
The second is the latest from setup.exe version 2.677
The first one works.
The second shows the screen then exits when run from the shortcut to 
"E:\cygwin-new\Cygwin.bat".

E:/cygwin-new//var/log/setup.log shows
