cygwin.dll concurrency bug?



Hi,

We're seeing a problem when two instances of any of the cygwin32 tools are run
at the (almost) exact same time.

For instance, putting two msdos windows side by side with "env" on the command
line, and hitting enter in both (as soon as humanly possible) will dump the
exception below.

This is with b17.1, b18, and with Sergey's patched cygwin.dll.  Is this some
type of dll initialization problem?  This sounds like a "well, then don't do
that" kind of problem, but we're running into situations where multiple tools
will be starting at the same time quite frequently.

Any ideas, or is this a known bug?

Thanks,
Jason
