Corinna and I think that we're coming close to achieving stability for
a new release so we'd like you to try the most recent snapshot at:
http://cygwin.com/snapshots/
Please reports variations from 1.7.9, including "Hey! It's a lot faster
than 1.7.9!" as well as the usual bug reports.
It is substantial better than 1.7.9.
I have not seen (yet) issues on the latest snapshots
including 20120111.
my 2c$ :
As rebaseall is almost mandatory on W7/64 and
we are always suggesting it to anyone with fork problem,
I think a simple batch file in the / (called rebase.bat ?)
similar to the cygwin.bat
with something like
-------------------------------------
C:
chdir C:\cygwin\bin
C:\cygwin\bin\dash -l -i -c "rebaseall"
--------------------------------------
will help customer to handle the issue.
It should be worth to add it to the rebase package.

Marco
