0x420000 is a really low address for a dll, it will collide with any 
executable larger than 128kB. It's also in the region of address space 
where Windows really likes to put things like stacks and heaps (which 
cygwin can't move). Either rebaseall didn't work right, or else you've 
got a huge number of dlls in your system and it just ran out of address 
space to use.
