If you aren't following the detailed rebaseall instructions in
/usr/share/doc/rebase/README, please try that.  In particular, make sure
that there are no Cygwin processes or services running and especially no
pulseaudio.exe hanging around when you run rebaseall.  You may also want to
delete your existing rebase database in /etc/rebase.db.<arch> so as to have
rebaseall rebase everything it can from scratch.  Substitute i386 or x86_64
for <arch> as appropriate.

If the above child_copy error still occurs let us know.  Win32 error 487
means "Attempt to access invalid address" which is not something that
normally occurs while rebasing.

If all else fails, if you happen to be running 32-bit Cygwin on 64-bit
Windows 8.1, you could try installing 64-bit Cygwin alongside it.  That
assumes the 64-bit Cygwin has the packages you want to use.  Rebase issues
are much less common there due to the larger address space processes have.
