I don't know what's with your machine, but these values are *very* bad.
The Cygwin DLL is supposed to be loaded into the same virtual address
0x61000000 in every process.  The above address...  I don't know what
I should say.  Did you run perlrebase?  Is your perl executable
dislocated?  I know that perlrebase did that accidentally at one point.
What does `objdump -h /bin/perl' print?  Additionally, do you observe 
collisions when running `rebase -si'?

That shouldn't matter.  It *could* matter in case of the default
entries in the mount table, but in fact those should be fixed after
the first Cygwin executable is running and then not change anymore
anyway.
