But as a point of practicality, 64-bit Cygwin can help with some cases of
DLL address space collisions. So if you haven't experimented with
64-bit Cygwin in your environment, it may be worth your time.
This sounds very reasonable but I'm curious: is it to date just a
theory that makes sense or have there been actual reports of 64-bit
Cygwin solving address-space collisions?
Solving? Well no. It won't "solve" address-space collisions. But the
larger address space means that there's less chance of the O/S picking
the address your DLL wants for another. No guarentees of course. ;-)
