Followup: After yet another round of deleting packages, this time optional perl
modules, things started to work.  So I must have run out of address space and
wrapped around or something.  I wonder if it would be possible to have rebase
tell us when this happens?  (My evidence that this was the problem is that the
address of collision when forking was a fairly low address, but the address
now chosen by the full rebase is rather higher, for the same dll.)

Sorry for the extra chatter - but some recent update must have noticeably
increased the total dll space needed (maybe texlive?).

Regards - Eliot
