Ehm, sorry Eliot,

you should look if
- you have collisions ( they are signed by * in rebase -si output)
- if you have very low address as allocation is starting at 0x6fff....
and going down.

In my case, where I have already a large number of package,
but not extreme:

$ cygcheck -cd |wc -l
1639

the lowest address is around 0x36960000

32 $ rebase -si |sort  --key=3 | head| awk '{print $3, $5,$1}'
