It does not rely on any base address per se. It *does* reply on the base address being consistent between forked/spawned and exec'd parent and children. That means that the base address must be one of the following: a) Whatever is in the .dll, in all cygwin processs (for a given process hierarchy). (ie it can be different for different invocations of cygwin.bat). b) Relocated consistently on the fly in all cygwin processs (for a given process hierarchy). (ie it can be different for different invocations of cygwin.bat). > - cygcurl-2.dll: because it gets "whacked" by rebase and > AFAICT is not used by Python anyway Can you detail 'whack' a little more? > - cygtclpip80.dll: because it appears not to be relocatable What error do you get? > Unfortunately, when I run the complete Python regression test, I still > get the same three test failures as reported by Michael without rebasing: > > test_popen2 > test_pty > test_socket > > When I run these tests individually (i.e., not part of the complete test > suite), then they pass.

Can you get process explorer to show their address space - get them to fail, and stop rather than terminating (usually there is a dialog you could leave open or you can use the CYGWIN debug flags).
