Win32.FunTime.d virus in cygwin1.dll

[Powell, Walt - TOP]

Gentlemen:

Our sysop has informed me that the file cygwin1.dll contains a virus called
the Win32.FunTime.d.

I obtained this file from the gzipped file egcs-1.1.1-cygb20.tar.gz,
obtained from an earlier cygwin download. As far as I can tell, cygwin1.dll
has not been altered at my site, and if this is true, the virus must have
originated at the cygnus site.  

I am deeply concerned about this possibility.  Can you provide any
information or a secure version of cygwin1.dll?

Sincerely,
