Right. Starting from the beginning and looking at the simplest/most common
potential causes makes the most sense. And providing as much detail as
possible about what's going on is a good idea as well. However, if the more
obvious solutions don't help, then you might want to consider this option:

Larry,


I tried the solution mentioned above, but it didn't help. However it did put me on the right track. I started carefully killing Windows processes. After I had killed enough of them, Cygwin started working perfectly again and I could do my compiles. So I think I was looking in the wrong direction with rebase in the first place. I am still narrowing it down, but I found that two pieces of hardware I had added lately, a webcam and a Sprint Wireless network connection were running lots of processes all the time, even when that hardware was not installed or running. I believe the culprit is one of these. When I figure out exactly what process was causing this, I will let you know.

Thanks for the help.


Glad it helped get you back running.
