In hindsight,  yes maybe.  But it's a long  known corollary to  Murphy's
Law that when  you're searching for some solution  you'll always find in
the last place you look for it.

Well, for me it's  quite normal that  "cygserver" and "cron" are running
when I'm reading or  writing mail  or even when  I'm running "cygcheck".
However,  this doesn't necessarily mean  that they were running  while I
tried to rebase.

Sincerely,
