spin601.exe is not working with the supplied cygwin1.dll

After downloading spin601.exe and cygwin1.dll from [url]http://spinroot.com/spin/Bin/index.html[/url]
(and optional renaming it to spin.exe), I have the following error in a dialog-box (copied with Control+C):
[quote]
---------------------------
spin.exe - Entry Point Not Found
---------------------------
The procedure entry point __assert_func could not be located in the dynamic link library cygwin1.dll.
---------------------------
OK

(OS: Windows XP Pro SP3 ("ver" gives "Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]") )

Does it mean that:
(1) using cygwin (with a newer cygwin1.dll) in not just 'strongly recommended', but it is mandatory for Spin 6.0+?
(2) everyone else is already using it (since I don't see similar complaints here (at least, search for "cygwin1.dll" gives nothing))?

Re: spin601.exe is not working with the supplied cygwin1.dll

cygwin recently had a major upgrade, so it means that the version of cygwin1.dll that we had on spinroot likely became outdated and no longer works (it was from 2006).
i just uploaded the version (from august 2010) that was used to compile spin601.exe
so please try downloading this version of cygwin1.dll and see if it solves the problem
