It is substantial better than 1.7.9.
I have not seen (yet) issues on the latest snapshots
including 20120111.

my 2c$ :
As rebaseall is almost mandatory on W7/64 and
we are always suggesting it to anyone with fork problem,
I think a simple batch file in the / (called rebase.bat ?)
similar to the cygwin.bat

with something like
-------------------------------------
C:
chdir C:\cygwin\bin
C:\cygwin\bin\dash -l -i -c "rebaseall"
--------------------------------------

will help customer to handle the issue.
It should be worth to add it to the rebase package.

Marco
