Dear all I know, this is topic everybody is fed up with and that it has been discussed ad nauseum. Still, I can't figure out what's going on... Here the symptoms:
* Trying to run a shell command from Python fails 50% of the time with: address space needed by 'cygz.dll' (0x450000) is already occupied. So far only Python shows this problem. E.g. the following simple snippet regularly fails: >>> import subprocess >>> subprocess.check_call('sleep 1'.split()) * rebaseall doesn't help (even tried a fresh installation of Cygwin, a clean PATH, etc). * rebase -si only shows an asterisk for the following entries: /usr/bin/cygperl5_14.dll base 0x0003fe9b0000 size 0x00190000 * /usr/lib/perl5/5.14/x86_64-cygwin-threads/CORE/cygperl5_14.dll base 0x0003fe9b0000 size 0x00190000 * Given that they both belong to the same package and have the same name, I tend to think that this is a spurious message that has nothing to do with my problem. Nothing suspicious about cygz.dll in the output (at least as far as I can tell). * The 32-bit Cygwin installation is fine and never shows this behavior Anybody got an idea how to get to the bottom of this problem?
