Subject:	Solution for Oracle 8i on Windows client errors 6 & 487 in Cygwin 1.3.3
X-Mailer:	Opera 5.12 build 932
X-Priority:	1 (Highest)

This issue must have been an ImageBase conflict of some sort although I am not sure exactly why it happened (a 
rebase system call failed?  something else?).  There wasn't much info available.  Anywasy, the tips from Ralph 
Habacker and Charles Wilson were a big help to me.  

There are too many Oracle DLLs to rebase all of them; I'd rather focus on one if possible.  So, in a DOS-window, after 
rebooting [make sure no one is using cygwin1.dll]:

   cd $CYGWIN\bin
   rebase -b 0x68000000 cygwin1.dll

This seems to have done the trick.  Oracle actually works now.  Cygwin seems stable.  I shall be testing more.

Perhaps the rebase operation would solve a lot of the other reported Win32 error 487 issues.  Anyways, this might be a 
subject for a general-purpose tip/technote on resolving DLL-conflicts.

Cheers .. Richard
