*Both* addresses are wrong.  The 32 bit Cygwin DLL has to be loaded to
address 0x61000000 (as noted in the file header) which, if done correctly,
results in a cygheap address > 0x61000000.  The cygheap is part of the
DLL binary, so it's loaded with it.  In Cygwin 2.2.1, the address should
be in the 0x612fc000 range.

It seems a Windows DLL or a virus scanner DLL gets loaded to this
address for some reason.  I'm a bit at a loss to make a suggestion here,
except for switching to 64 bit Cygwin which has much less problems with
this due to the huge address space.
