Aha, thanks.  It seems I did after all somehow link with cygwin1.dll.

Having got past that one, a slightly tougher one: my copy of TableIO
(compiled and run on the same two machines mentioned above), works on our
NT machine, but hangs the Python interpreter shell on our win95 laptop.
Now, I know that since (apparently) I linked against crtdll.dll rather
than msvcrt.dll by omitting -mno-cygwin somewhere, bad things may happen
as a result.  But do these bad things really happen on win95 but not NT??
