I keep having problems with vforks. Sometime everything is fine for days,

So I rebaseall, and peflagsall. Emacs works great. Oops, forgot to restart
cygserver. Restart, bam, vfork errors. Or, no vfork error.
It all seems so inconsistent and random. Is there some methodology I am
missing to ensure no vforks?
What I'm doing (with some success)is this:
1. get latest cygwin update
2. del /etc/rebase*
3. rebaseall -v
4. peflagsall -v
5. don't restart cygserver (This means my bash shell window starts a little
slower, but I can live with that.)
I usually have to do this 2 to 3 times before I can get emacs to start without
vfork errors.
Any ideas how I can improve on this? I would like to have cygserver running.
Also, I often run Cygwin Setup (to get something I've missed, like wget..., or
check for updates) while emacs is running. Should I shut it down first?
yes.
Never update with cygwin processes running

could you start with
Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html
specially this point:
"Run cygcheck -s -v -r > cygcheck.out and include that file as an
attachment in your report. Please do not compress or otherwise encode
the output. Just attach it as a straight text file so that it can be
easily viewed"
so we can look on your setup ?
I am not seeing a lot of fork issues, on my system.
Eventually you have some BLODA interfering.
