I've had a look at this but I'm a bit stumped by the nomachine.com nx
client. When I install their client, it takes out my Cygwin
installation... presumably because it is linked against an old copy of
the cywin DLLs (which I'd have thought would be a violation of the
Cygwin licence terms.)

This problem is probably due to using incompatible versions of the
cygwin DLL.
Search for cygwin1.dll using the Windows Start->Find/Search facility
and delete all but the most recent version. The most recent version
*should*
reside in x:\cygwin\bin, where 'x' is the drive on which you have
installed the cygwin distribution. Rebooting is also suggested if you
are unable to find another cygwin DLL.

Uninstalling the nx client and rebooting fixes the fault which
installing introduced. The knowledge base seems to gloss over this
problem - claiming in separate articles that it is cosmetic or a known
problem. I guess, given that I need cygwin, that my only option is to
wait and hope the nx client for windows is fixed at some point?
