Greetings,

I have observed multiple times, and reproduced, that Setup 2.693  
overwriting "in-use files" and rebooting WILL NOT replace those in-use  
files. Notably cygwin1.dll.

Windows 7 Pro, 32-bit, with 4 cygrunsrv services (exim, cron, cygserver,  
sshd).

Reproduce:

1. stop services
2. install some cygwin1.dll with a distinct version that you can recognize  
 from "uname -a" (in my case, snapshot 20100331)
3. start services
4. launch setup.exe (version 2.693)
5. pick cygwin-1.7.3-1 for Reinstall
6. next/continue until...
7. setup.exe complains about files in use - cygwin1.dll, retry/continue  
(continue requires reboot)
8. click continue
9. setup completes, reminds me to reboot
10. reboot
11. uname -a still shows cygwin1.dll 20100331 is in use.

What's up? Can I help to debug this?
