Cygwin 1.7.8 (and 1.7.9), Win7SP1.
I was having issues with my Emacs startup occasionally failing with
"Doing vfork: resource temporarily unavailable". I found a link that
alleged to have the solution to this
(http://blog.cottee.org/2008/05/cygwin-emacs-problems.html).
I followed these steps, although when I looked at "libncurses7", I saw
it was set to "Skip", and that I had versions 8, 9, and 10. So, I set
those to reinstall and continued the update. It also updated some other
things, including updating me from Cygwin 1.7.8 to 1.7.9.
Now, when I run "startxwin", it chugs for a bit and then presents an
error dialog saying "Failed to activate core devices". The log file
contents follows this. It fails like this every time now.

The advice about libncurses on that page is obsolete. It applied to old
versions of emacs. The suggestion of running rebaseall is good but...

you should try rebaseall now.

I tried to reply to this a while ago, but it never showed up on the list.
This didn't fix the problem. I still can't start the X server. It
fails with "Failed to activate core devices".
