RE: Perl Win32::Shortcut screws up fork


Hi Larry,

Sorry, I assumed that the rebasing problem was ancient history, since I
hadn't encountered it for so long (and remembered a long-ago comment
about rebaseall being a stop-gap measure). Thanks for putting me right.

Unfortunately I can't get rebaseall to work... running from a bash
prompt in a DOS box (as the docs tell me to), I get

% ps -a
      PID    PPID    PGID     WINPID  TTY  UID    STIME COMMAND
     1668       1    1668       1668    0 22534 19:36:55 /usr/bin/bash
     1268    1668    1268       1800    0 22534 19:45:04 /usr/bin/ps
% rebaseall
ReBaseImage (/usr/bin/cygiconv-2.dll) failed with last error = 6

cygiconv-2.dll is used by bash, but rebaseall is a bash script. What can
I do?

Thanks,
Tim.
