Cygwin 1.7.8 (and 1.7.9), Win7SP1.
I was having issues with my Emacs startup occasionally failing with
"Doing vfork: resource temporarily unavailable". I found a link that
alleged to have the solution to this
(http://blog.cottee.org/2008/05/cygwin-emacs-problems.html).
The advice about libncurses on that page is obsolete. It applied to old
versions of emacs. The suggestion of running rebaseall is good but...
I followed these steps, although when I looked at "libncurses7", I saw
it was set to "Skip", and that I had versions 8, 9, and 10. So, I set
those to reinstall and continued the update. It also updated some other
things, including updating me from Cygwin 1.7.8 to 1.7.9.
you should try rebaseall now.
