[gforth] Broken cygwin1.dll?

[Elko Tchernev]

    While changing laptops, I installed the latest Win32 
self-installing Gforth 0.6.2, and my programs promptly stopped loading, 
giving file I/O errors. (Under Win XP Pro). As I've used the previous 
0.6.2 self-install with no problems, I had it on my old drive, and when 
I replaced the new cygwin1.dll (1,114K, 2004-08-01) with the old one 
(949K, 2003-08-30), everything was fine again. The symptom is that 
INCLUDED cannot load any file that has directory specifiers in the name.
    If I say S" test1.f" INCLUDED, and the file is in the current 
directory, it works, but if the command is
S" /elko/work/forth/new-oof/test1.f" INCLUDED, it fails. (It fails with 
both dir separators, / and \, while INCLUDE works with the DOS standard 
\ separator only).
    Is there a significant reason to use the new cygwin1.dll as opposed 
to the old one? I don't see anything wrong with the old one so far, but 
maybe there's some hidden issue?
