Hi Simon,
why have you installed everything ?

your system :
$ grep OK cygcheck.out |wc -l
5301

my system:
$ cygcheck -cd |wc -l
1304

so you have 4 time more packages then me and I am a heavy user.

I strongly suspect that you consumed all available
address slots for rebase, so the forks are almost impossible.
May be on a 64 system it will work, but on 32 bit you have an issue.

on my 32 bit system all the addresses from
  $ rebase -si | awk '{print $3}' |sort | head -n 1
0x3d730000

to 0x6fff0000 are busy.

Please check the output of
    rebase -si | awk '{print $3}' |sort | head -n 1

or look for the lowest address using
  rebase -si |less

I suggest you to remove most of  not necessary programs.
