I had the same problem first time I installed Sergey's patch.
I guess it has to do with symlinks. I just went to c:\cygnus and from COMMAND.COM:
C:\CYGNUS> dir cygwin.dll /s
I copied cydwin.dll to all places where it appeared (3 directories if
I recall well). I probably could have redone the symlinks, but it didn't
have the patience. BTW, I have the original win95.
Arlindo.
