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