This won't help you fix your problem, but might stop you from running into 
new ones.. (see below)

You *cannot* have two different Cygwin versions on the same system at the 
same time (if both Cygwin versions are in the PATH and/or one can find 
the other). You should not try to install two Cygwin's on the same machine 
(unless you *really* know what you are doing - in any case no one in this 
list will help you get it going (unless they are in the kindest mood 
possible))

As for your problem - I can't reproduce it on my machine, so I can't help 
you :(
