I have the same problem for the past two days. Error is as follows: After installing cygwin on Window2000, I have following error after opening cygwin: 1033 [main] bash 2164 fork_copy: linked dll data/bss pass 0 failed, 0x66D000. .0x66D020, done 0, windows pid 1216, Win32 error 487 bash: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable I tried many solutions with no help including: 1) make sure cygwin1.dll has only one copy on the machine. 2) install different versions, different selections 3) rebaseall in the bash. (bash is totally useless except for few commands). Finally I got a solution which it works: rebaseall: only ash processes are allowed during rebasing Exit all Cygwin processes and stop all Cygwin services. Execute ash from Start/Run... or a cmd or command window. Execute '/bin/rebaseall' from ash. Hope it could help others to solve the same problem.
