Comment (by kcrisman):
> > Could you provide more info, or pointers, on why Cygwin running on a
native 32 bits system would have more address space available than one
running under wow64 on 64 bits, and so less affected by fork errors, one
as I seem to remember you evoked that at some point here?

Cygwin and a Sage on a 32-bit system, they just don't fit in that addess
space - which is bigger on wow64 on 64 bits. You are welcome to prove me
wrong. Perhaps it was some BLODA on that system I no longer have, anyway.
But that actually makes a lot of sense for the problems I've had. I
haven't had any time lately but perhaps next week I will completely
uninstall and reinstall Cygwin on my XP box and see what happens.
Also, love the idea to have the `rebase` instead of `rebaseall`. Could
the relevant ticket about the Cygwin script be updated with that too?
