Running out of ptys

Thu Apr 9 01:13:00 GMT 2015

Corinna,
Thank you very much!
Unfortunately I ran into a problem.
Referring to FAQ 2.19. "How do I install snapshots?" I downloaded:
 2015年04月07日 10:25:12 UTC x86_64/cygwin1-20150407.dll.xz
unxz'ed it, and installed it in c:\cygwin\bin
When I tried to run "Cygwin Terminal" I got:
 "mintty.exe - Application Error
 The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)."
Do I need to install "everything"? (E.g. x86_64/cygwin-inst-20150407.tar.xz)
