pdksh having problems starting native gvim on Vista x64

[Chris J <cej-cygwin at nightwolf dot org dot uk>]

Hi all,

I've a recently installed Cygwin setup on Vista x64 and I've been having
problems with pdksh. I've got a x64-build of native gvim installed[1] which
pdksh doesn't want to start. On trying to run I get:

$ /cygdrive/c/vim/vim71/gvim.exe
/bin/pdksh: /cygdrive/c/vim/vim71/gvim.exe: cannot execute - Permission denied
$

However, running it via every other shell going (ash, bash, tcsh and csh)
is fine and gvim pops up well and good.

The exception is zsh, with which I get the following error on invoking:

3 [main] zsh 6168 C:\cygwin\bin\zsh.exe: *** fatal error - unable to remap
C:\cygwin\lib\zsh\4.3.4\zsh\complete.dll to same address as
parent(0x310000) != 0x350000

Googling has shown me this thread[2] that mentions rebaseing the DLLs.
However, before I go ahead and do this willy-nilly, I did want to confirm
that it was the correct thing to do given the the thread as well as the
mail threads linked to are a few months to a year old.

So questions ultimately are:
1. Has anyone seen the behaviour exhibited by pdksh before, or any idea
what could be attemtped to fix it?

2. Is rebasing the right thing to do, and is it just 'rebaseall' I should
be executing?

Cheers all,

Chris...
