Change the DLL load address to be something besides 61500000 and it will work.

And, before you respond, let me assure you that I am aware that worked
fine in 1.3.2 and I have no intention of trying to fix this in cygwin 1.3.4
or any other release.

Change the base address and it will work.  You can consider this a permanent
limitation of cygwin for the foreseeable future.

Thanks for the minimal test case, btw.  This allowed me to confirm that what
was going on was what I assumed was going on.

And now, I have to find the URL for this message since I'll have to answer
this at least once a week for the foreseeable future.
