re: Oracle 8i on Windows client error 487 (xterm-launched) and 6 (shell-launched) in Cygwin 1.3.3

[Richard Elkins <richard dot elkins at citicorp dot com>]

Thank you for the note and suggestions, Ralf Habacker.

Yes, it seems that Cygwin 1.3.3 and Oracle 8i have a conflict concerning DLL Image Base address: 

By the way, this sample application works ok on Windows NT and 2000 with the same Oracle 8i installation i.e. there 
were no Win32 errors resulting from a failure to relocate Image Bases.

Anyone have an idea how this conflict can be resolved?

The project containing the sources is attached as try_ora.tar.gz.
File cygcheck.out is also attached.
