This is on W2K RC2 Server:
Yes I see this, too. After stripping the try to start any cygwin
command opens a MessageBox:
"The application or DLL D:\usr\bin\cygwin1.dll is not a valid
windows image. Please check this against your installation
diskette."
The size of the striped DLL is different between the current and
the older version of strip:
with strip 2.9-19990830: 544768 bytes (this works)
with strip 2.9-19990911: 520192 bytes (this not)
Stripping any other executables seems to work as expected.
