I've been watching the Cygwin development list and know that this
issue is worse in Windows 7 and 8.  They keep trying to hammer on
where to map the loaded dll.  I forget the details but I know they've
chosen some address space that is less likely to have an issue.  See
the Cygwin development list archives for it sometime the last half of
this year.
