Hmm. After some further investigation (noted that Python didn't work
properly on my system either :), the
file/usr/doc/Cygwin/python-2.2.2.README says:
---
3. Due to issues with Cygwin's fork() and DLL base address conflicts,
one should rebase their Cygwin system to prevent fork() failures. Use
the following procedure to rebase your system:
a. install the Cygwin rebase package (if necessary)
b. shutdown all Cygwin processes
c. start bash (do not use rxvt)
d. execute rebaseall (in the bash window)
---
Doing b. was a bit tricky (any processes left running lock the DLL's for
writing, so rebase complains with error =3D 6), but after that the only
messages I got was:
/usr/lib/apache/xxx.dll: skipped because nonexistent
.. for a few dll's, but now =E5ython doesn't give me anymore forking
errors, so I believe this should work for you as well.
