Many cygwin users who are also users of gaim (http://gaim.sf.net/win32) have experienced issues lately which have been traced back to the following: Cygwin's tcl dll is called tcl84.dll (the same as the native win32 ActiveState tcl dll) and is located in the bin directory. This means that if cygwin's bin directory is in the path, programs that try to load the tcl dll will load the cygwin dll instead of the native one (which obviously causes problems). I was wondering why the cygwin tcl dll is called tcl84.dll instead of something like cygtcl84.dll (which seems to be what is done for other stuff like the perl dll) so that these conflicts don't occur.
