In 64-bit land, the available address space for Cygwin DLLs is much
increased.  This should theoretically eliminate the "casual" overlap
of address spaces for loaded DLLs, which was a common fork failure vector
in 32-bit land.  But the 64-bit version is susceptible to BLODA*, just like
in 32-bits so I would recommend looking into that.
