This issue must have been an ImageBase conflict of some sort although I am not sure exactly why it happened (a
rebase system call failed? something else?). There wasn't much info available. Anywasy, the tips from Ralph
Habacker and Charles Wilson were a big help to me.
There are too many Oracle DLLs to rebase all of them; I'd rather focus on one if possible. So, in a DOS-window, after
rebooting [make sure no one is using cygwin1.dll]:
cd $CYGWIN\bin
rebase -b 0x68000000 cygwin1.dll
This seems to have done the trick. Oracle actually works now. Cygwin seems stable. I shall be testing more.
Perhaps the rebase operation would solve a lot of the other reported Win32 error 487 issues. Anyways, this might be a
subject for a general-purpose tip/technote on resolving DLL-conflicts.
Cheers .. Richard
