Similar messages appear when I try to open gnuplot processes.  I´ve
already done rebaseall.
0x420000 is a really low address for a dll, it will collide with any executable larger than 128kB. It's also in the region of address space where Windows really likes to put things like stacks and heaps (which cygwin can't move). Either rebaseall didn't work right, or else you've got a huge number of dlls in your system and it just ran out of address space to use.
