Well, tcsh and csh are the same...
Can you please post the output of "ls -l /cygdrive/c/vim/vim71/gvim.exe",
"ls -ld /cygdrive/c/vim/vim71", and "ls -ld /cygdrive/c/vim"? Also of
"cygcheck /cygdrive/c/vim/vim71/gvim.exe"?

I doubt the pdksh problem has anything to do with rebasing.

I would do "chmod a+x /cygdrive/c/vim /cygdrive/c/vim/vim71
/cygdrive/c/vim/vim71/gvim.exe" first, and see if it fixes your problem.
If that does not work, and the output of "ls -l" I requested above doesn't
help, it would probably be time to look at the strace output.

See /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/rebase-2.4.3.README... But rebase is more
likely to fix your zsh problem than your pdksh problem.
