Is /etc/postinstall/0p_000_autorebase.dash rebase completing 
successfully after the new installs?

Maybe check and/or attach the cygwin install log /var/log/setup.log.full 
for dependency, install, or postinstall errors, and run

	$ rebase -is > /var/log/rebase-is.log

on one of those systems and attach the log.

Is there a patch, update, or GP enabling ASLR on all processes?
