Chad Loder commented on STDCXX-455:
-----------------------------------

I ran into a similar program with a completely different cygwin program (Mercurial, implemented in Python).  I saw:

{noformat}
python.exe *** fatal error - could not load shell32, Win32 error 487
{noformat}

The strange thing was that when I ran the same command under strace, it worked fine.

These errors are due to a common Cygwin issue having to do with DLL base addresses.  The error can be fixed in the user's environment by running the Cygwin 'rebaseall' utility, as documented here:
