Larry,

I tried the solution mentioned above, but it didn't help. However it did 
put me on the right track. I started carefully killing Windows 
processes. After I had killed enough of them, Cygwin started working 
perfectly again and I could do my compiles. So I think I was looking in 
the wrong direction with rebase in the first place. I am still narrowing 
it down, but I found that two pieces of hardware I had added lately, a 
webcam and a Sprint Wireless network connection were running lots of 
processes all the time, even when that hardware was not installed or 
running. I believe the culprit is one of these. When I figure out 
exactly what process was causing this, I will let you know.

Thanks for the help.

Don
