Also seems relevant: https://www.cygwin.com/faq.html#faq.using.fixing-fork-failures
I would just add that if you (the OP) are unable to solve the problem by rebasing, then you should make a report to the Cygwin mailing list following the guidelines at
http://cygwin.com/problems.html ,especially the part about attaching cygcheck output. It could be that you have too many DLLs installed for 32-bit Cygwin. (If it's possible for you to switch to 64-bit Cygwin, your rebase problems will go away.)
This is not an Emacs bug. Ken
