Subject: BUG: bash 3.0-7 breaks rebaseall
Date: Wed, 13 Jul 2005 17:56:50 -0700
X-BlargAV-Status: No viruses detected, BlargAV v1.1 on localhost.scooter.p.blarg.net

Bash 3.0-7 dynamically links against several libraries (e.g.  
cygiconv-2).  This makes it impossible to run the rebaseall script,  
which must be run from a statically linked bash shell (from cmd.exe,  
not rxvt, etc.) so that no DLLs are in use when the underlying rebase  
tool runs.

This, in turn, affects Apache, Perl, and Python, three cygwin apps  
that are known to be affected by the rebase problem (per /usr/share/ 
doc/Cygwin/rebase-2.3.README).

The workaround is to revert bash to 2.05b-17, at least to do the  
rebaseall.
