I pushed some patches to fix this issue.  Excessive debugging indicated
that the reason cygcheck fails in this way is:

- It's a non-Cygwin process which

- is built with high-entropy ASLR and

- tries to load the Cygwin DLL dynamically and

- therefore suffers from the fact that recent Cygwin code doesn't
  expect that certain memory regions are used by Windows itself.
  Which they are, due to the high-entropy stuff.

The patches are supposed to make the code less rigid in terms of the
addresses of certain memory regions, as well as dropping the
high-entropy VA flag from builds of strace and cygcheck, both of which
are loading the Cygwin DLL dynamically as part of their job.

The test release 3.5.0-0.116.g8d318bf142f7 contains the patches, for
everybody to try.


Thanks,
Corinna
