On Win16 and Win32 (but not Win64), DLLs are not position-independent code and are expected to be located in the same part of the address space in every program that they are linked into. The DLLs have all of their relocations applied the first time they are loaded and sometimes this generates conflicts the second time it's loaded. This quickly becomes a mess. As I recall, the fork() implementation in Cygwin often has problems on the exec if it needs to relocate a DLL. The solution to this is the rebaseall utility, which searches all applications, finds the DLLs that they use, and reapplies the relocations to make them work. The correct time to run this command is just after you've installed a new program, or a new version of an existing DLL.
