1. Does "fewer forks" mean that some forks are still occurring, thus the same memory crash will still happen, but not right away? Just delaying the inevitable, for longer than my original script does?
I think so, assuming the problem is that forks are not getting fully reclaimed.
2. What is this I read about "rebasing" for BLODA-related issues ... Can rebasing help me to completely resolve this script problem? I read the docs about "rebase all" but don't understand whether it would be effective for my situation. Or do I just need to close any of the offending software such as anti-virus, then reopen CygWin and try my script again?
Rebasing may or may not be necessary, but it can certainly be important to have BLODA inactive, which often means *removing* it, because of all the little background things and services these packages throw in.
