So may I guess that you have an R session of R-2.0.1 patched still 
*running* that uses stats.dll, and since Windows caches this file, it 
doesn't load the correct one when trying to access the one for R-2.1.0.

If not: Which version of Windows is this, and is the message above the 
right one you got from R-2.1.0? Why do you have installed it in 
rw2001pat, then?

R for Windows is *not* supposed to run in a cygwin environment.
