There have been a couple people with an emacs problem whose symptom
is LISP error messages complaining about a bad number of arguments
to a function call.

Dr. Andrew Mayer cured this problem through a reinstall.  Here are
the details:

His particular problem appears to have been caused by a change to Cygwin
that made "ntsec" the default behavior, which resulted in permissions
problems that were cured by the reinstall.
