Still no joy.

I tried rebaseall and it still had the same problems. I verified that 
the dll's were in fact modified/rebased and that they all loaded at 
unique addresses.  It seems that the following dll's loaded from 
/lib/perl5/5.8.0/cygwin-multi-64int/auto/* all have this problem on 
WinME. I believe that an error in cygwin1.dll that I saw this time was 
just colateral damage after the other dll errors. WinME has never been a 
model of stability - lol. I'll have to wait on testing anything else 
until I have a chance to get physical access to that host and reboot it.

cwd.dll
io.dll
util.dll
fcntl.dll
opcode.dll
hostname.dll

If you have any other suggentions of what to look for that would be 
appriciated. Unfortunately I don't have a great deal of time to spend on 
this at the moment, so rolling back to the previous version may be my 
only option for now. I guess I'll just have to live with it for now.
