If you can figure out which DLL they are injecting, you can do exactly what 
they tell you to do, except using their DLL instead of the cygwin DLL.

Or you can go the easy route, and follow the instructions they have provided 
to rebase cygwin.dll. The person who wrote the message you quoted is 
obviously familar with Cygwin, since he has you use Cygwin's rebase utility. 
This indicates to me that he has actually tried the solution he mentions, 
and it has fixed the problem for him.
