I have one other suggestion: If you rebase because of a fork failure, reboot 
before retrying the application that failed.  I just had the following experience:

I was running emacs on my 32-bit Cygwin installation and got a fork failure 
involving /usr/bin/cygMagickCore-6.Q16-2.dll.  Windows had loaded this DLL at a 
very low address.  I did a full rebase and restarted emacs, but that DLL was 
still loaded at a low address, even though rebasing had put the base address at 
a very reasonable 0x6e550000.  [You can see where a DLL is loaded in a process's 
address space by examining the file /proc/<PID>/maps.]  I then rebooted, 
restarted emacs, and verified that the DLL was now loaded at 0x6e550000, as 
expected.

I've seen this happen many times.  I don't know the explanation, but my guess is 
that Windows does some caching that causes it to try to load a given DLL at the 
same base address as it used the last time that DLL was loaded.  Rebooting 
clears the cache.  Can someone who understands this stuff confirm my guess or 
provide a better explanation?

Ken
