Nope, I can't reproduce it yet. I installed the file-5.00-1 sources and
then ran
r...@host /usr/src/file-5.00-1
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local CC='gcc-4 -static-libgcc'
$ make
$ cd src/.libs/
$ cp cygmagic-1.dll cygmagic-1.dll.bak
$ rebase -v -b 0x6a500000 ./cygmagic-1.dll
r...@host /usr/src/file-5.00-1/src/.libs
$ ./file.exe ./file.exe
file: could not find any magic files!
No crash. Then I tried it on the live version in /bin:
r...@host /bin
$ cp cygmagic-1.dll cygmagic-1.dll.bak
r...@host /bin
$ ./file.exe ./file.exe
./file.exe: PE32 executable for MS Windows (console) Intel 80386 32-bit
r...@host /bin
$ rebase -v -b 0x6a500000 ./cygmagic-1.dll
./cygmagic-1.dll: new base = 6a500000, new size = 20000
r...@host /bin
$ ./file.exe ./file.exe
./file.exe: PE32 executable for MS Windows (console) Intel 80386 32-bit
I verified that I have the statically linked version installed, rather than
the update you just uploaded:
r...@host /bin
$ cygcheck ./cygmagic-1.dll
F:\cygwin-1.7\bin\cygmagic-1.dll
F:\cygwin-1.7\bin\cygwin1.dll
C:\WINNT\system32\ADVAPI32.DLL
C:\WINNT\system32\NTDLL.DLL
C:\WINNT\system32\KERNEL32.DLL
C:\WINNT\system32\RPCRT4.DLL
F:\cygwin-1.7\bin\cygz.dll
r...@host /bin
Did I do something wrong? Did you do something differently? I note that
after my attempt to rebase at the same address, the DLL afterward is identical
to the one before:
dkad...@ubik /bin
$ md5sum cygmagic-1.dll cygmagic-1.dll.bak
1628930e970b95891bd5ce79bab9f814 *cygmagic-1.dll
1628930e970b95891bd5ce79bab9f814 *cygmagic-1.dll.bak
Do you see the same result? Because if so, that would be *really* strange!

I'm fairly certain it shouldn't be. You can't expect exceptions to work
right in these circumstances, but I wouldn't see why they would be involved.
Can one of you and Chuck run addr2line on the stackdump from the crash? I
have no idea what's even going on yet.
cheers,
