Re: fixing BLODA-caused fork failures

But as a point of practicality, 64-bit Cygwin can help with some cases of

64-bit Cygwin in your environment, it may be worth your time.

This sounds very reasonable but I'm curious: is it to date just a
theory that makes sense or have there been actual reports of 64-bit
Cygwin solving address-space collisions?

Solving?  Well no.  It won't "solve" address-space collisions.  But the
larger address space means that there's less chance of the O/S picking
the address your DLL wants for another.  No guarentees of course. ;-)
