Followup: After yet another round of deleting packages, this time optional perl modules, things started to work. So I must have run out of address space and wrapped around or something. I wonder if it would be possible to have rebase tell us when this happens? (My evidence that this was the problem is that the address of collision when forking was a fairly low address, but the address now chosen by the full rebase is rather higher, for the same dll.) Sorry for the extra chatter - but some recent update must have noticeably increased the total dll space needed (maybe texlive?).
