Cygwin+Windows 7+gvim woes

Hi,

I've upgrade from XP to windows 7 and now gvim launched from Cygwin
spews errors on startup.
Sometime gvim would load but at other times it would fail that.
An example of the errors:

[No Name] [FORMAT=unix] [TYPE=] [ASCII=000] [HEX=00] [POS=0000,0001]
[100%]
[LEN=1]
0 [main] gvim 7404 exception::handle: Exception:

gvim.exe.stackdump

Error detected while processing /home/yizaq/.vim/plugin/ShowFunc.vim:

End of stack trace
0 [main] gvim 4532 fork: child 7096 - died waiting for dll
loading, errno 11

In addition even when gvim does load the '!' doesn't work and gives a
"fail to fork" error.
I did some searching on the web and it looks likes many suspect a bug
in the Mcafee antivirus. I even tried some suggestions like excluding /
cygwin/bin from access scanning but it didn't really help.

Has anyone faced a similar issue?- I'd appreciate any information on
the matter.

TIA,
Yosi

i have found this problem with almost every project i build from source in
win7 under cygwin. the fix is rather straightforward, and is a cygwin
issue, not a vim issue: it is necessary to "rebase" all applications,
libraries, and dll's in cygwin.

the simple cookbook is:

1. do a shutdown of all cygwin services and apps.
(http://www.heikkitoivonen.net/blog/2008/11/26/cygwin-upgrades-and-rebaseall/)
for example:

cygrunsrv --stop cron
cygrunsrv --stop exim
cygrunsrv --stop mountd
cygrunsrv --stop nfsd
cygrunsrv --stop portmap
cygrunsrv --stop sshd
cygrunsrv --stop cygserver

2. initiate a cmd session
3. cd \cygwin\bin
4. .\ash.exe
5. PATH=/bin
6. find /usr/local -name '*.dll' -o -name '*.so' > /tmp/lst
7. rebaseall -v -T /tmp/lst

Thank you and Bryan as well. Your suggestions solved the issue and I also read the related Cygwin article to better understand what the fuss is all about. The cookbook solution is especially effective.

I have 2 follow-up questions if you may:

1. Should I repeat the rebase each time I upgrade a give cygwin lib or util?

2. Do you happen to know when will Cygwin include the rebase so that it's no longer required to perform this manually?

Thanks!
