What I'd like to know, is how all of these users ended up with 
cygwin1.dll in /system in the first place.  They all claim that they 
didn't do it themselves; or perhaps they did do it themselves, 
"following instructions a long time ago" [strange that the bug only 
cropped up "now" ] -- but who is telling people to do this?

Is there some program out there that uses cygwin, and installs 
cygwin1.dll into /system?  Is there some website out there that tells 
people to do this?  Can we hunt them down and flame them with vigour?
