It appears to be C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\PGHook.dll which is part of Avecto Privilege Guard (which could certainly be classed as a BLODA IMO; thank you paranoid corporate IT policies...). For cygcheck, PGHook.dll gets loaded at its desired image base: $ objdump -p /c/Windows/syswow64/pghook.dll |grep ImageBase ImageBase 61100000 So, it appears that for normal cygwin processes, PGHook gets rebased elsewhere, and cygwin "wins." For instance, /bin/top.exe -> PGHook gets loaded at 01FD000, b/c cygwin1.dll is already at 0x61000000. OTOH, there's nothing in the cygcheck.exe process that prevents PGHook from getting its desired base addr -- which then conflicts with cygwin's desired base addr when it is (later) dynloaded. Is there some workaround that could be used? It's not as if cygcheck is really trying to initialize and *use* cygwin1.dll facilities, is it? So, perhaps cygwin1.dll/dcrt0 could ignore the fact that it has been rebased, when dynamically loaded? (or perhaps, only when dynloaded by some app named 'cygcheck.exe'). -- Chuck -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
