Thanks Eliot, I'll try that later tonight and I'll report back.
I'm also getting this kind of error from gvim (that I built myself to
add python to it):
 2 [main] vim 7580 C:\cygwin\usr\local\bin\vim.exe: *** fatal
error - unable to remap
\\?\C:\cygwin\lib\gtk-2.02円.10.0\loaders\cygpixbufloader-xpm.dll to
same address as parent: 0x3F0000 != 0x5B0000
 2 [main] gvim 7844 fork: child 7580 - died waiting for dll
loading, errno 11
After that, gvim hangs and I have to kill it.
That seems like the same issue and it could also be solved with a
proper rebase, right?
