  If you rebased while logged in over ssh, and using bash, that will have
caused the problem.  You do have two different cygwin1.dlls after that: the
one on disk that has a new base address, and the one that's still loaded into
memory in all those cygwin processes that are still running, which is still
based at the original address.  Rebasing everything is a tricky process, it
has to be done using just an 'ash' shell (not bash), and you shouldn't have
any other cygwin processes running.  Check the docs in
/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/rebase-3.0.1.README.

    cheers,
