Indeed. And why does putting that dll at the end of the list make any difference?
My next line of inquiry resulted in putting a 'sleep' in just before the rebase invocation.
Huh, that fixed it. Weird.
Then I went looking, and what happens just before rebase is called? zcat and egrep are called.
zcat is a link to gzip which is a .exe file.
egrep, however, is a shell script
$ cd /usr/bin
$ cat egrep
#!/bin/sh
exec grep -E ${1+"$@"}
$ 

So apparently the shell isn't shutting down fast enough before rebase is invoked.

OOPS.

Of course none of this fixes my real problem with why Python is unable to get a lock...
