6558 when trying to run bash using @kbd{M-x shell}, then you need to rebase
6559 your Cygwin DLL's. This is a known problem with Cygwin. To fix:
6560
6561 @enumerate
6562 @item
6563 Download the @file{rebase} utility from Cygwin setup (it's under
6564 @samp{System}).
6565 @item
6566 Kill @strong{all} of your Cygwin processes, including all of your
6567 shells and all background processes. Use @code{ps -a} to list all the
6568 processes you need to kill.
6569 @item
6570 From a DOS prompt, run @file{ash} (@strong{not} @file{bash},
6571 @file{tcsh} or @file{zsh}). Do not try to be clever and @code{exec
6572 /bin/ash} from your last shell; it won't work.
6573 @item
6574 Type @code{/bin/rebaseall -v}.
6575 @end enumerate
6576
6577 The problem should now be fixed -- at least, until you install another
6578 Cygwin package with DLL's, in which case you may have to repeat the
6579 procedure.
