rebase-3.0-2 was announced here: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2009-04/msg00174.html and it includes the new peflags tool and peflagsall script. However... I've found that setting the ASLR flag on the DLLs *helps* on Vista -- but doesn't always work. Sometimes I'll still get the "fatal error - unable to remap" issue. This usually happens when: 1) The computer has recently hibernated 2) And I'm doing a TON of perl stuff with lots of fork/execs (e.g. autoreconf). It usually fixes itself if you reboot. This allows Vista to re-allocate the random base addresses, AND actually obey them. It's as if it "forgets" about ASLR after hibernation. -- Chuck -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
