DLLs that get corrupted seem to display the expected output anyway.
Sigh...

You can also try objdump to test for corruption too:

    $ objdump -p cygcurl-2.dll
    objdump: cygcurl-2.dll: File format not recognized

Maybe the two outcomes go through different code paths in ReBaseImage()?

Maybe from a previous rebase run?  I strongly suggest playing with
copies of your DLLs -- not the originals.

Maybe you haven't used the corrupted DLLs?  I just tried with curl and
Windows popped up a dialog complaining that the DLL was "bad."

OK, but I'm not sure what more you will find.

I was going to suggest the above, but I wasn't sure if you had the SDK
or not.  Use the same arguments sans the offset (i.e., "-o") option
since the SDK's rebase doesn't support it.

BTW, under Windows 2000 I get the following:

    $ file cygXpm-*
    cygXpm-X4.dll:   MS Windows PE Intel 80386 console DLL
    cygXpm-noX4.dll: MS Windows PE Intel 80386 console DLL
    $ rebase -d -b 0x68000000 -o 0x10000 cygXpm-*
    C:\cygwin\tmp\cygXpm-X4.dll: new base = 67fe0000, new size = 20000
    C:\cygwin\tmp\cygXpm-noX4.dll: new base = 67fc0000, new size = 20000
    $ file cygXpm-*
    cygXpm-X4.dll:   MS Windows PE Intel 80386 console DLL
    cygXpm-noX4.dll: MS Windows PE Intel 80386 console DLL

Is it time to upgrade? :,)

Thanks,
Jason
