I have no idea what could cause fork problems to disappear after 
rebaseall and then reappear after a reboot.  Maybe someone else can help.

I did try to reproduce the problem and couldn't (on both 32-bit and 
64-bit Cygwin).  Here's what I tried:

1. Reboot.

2. Start the X server using the Start Menu shortcut provided by the 
latest xinit package, with no ~/.startxwinrc.

3. In the resulting xterm, 'emacs -Q&'.

4. 'C-x d' to list the home directory.
