Starting today (2014/09/26) when I issue a command that needs to fork a
process such as dired I get the message in the terminal window:

This usually means you need to run rebaseall.  See

I am running Windows 8.1 using cygwin and
GNU Emacs 24.3.93.1 (i686-pc-cygwin) of 2014-08-15 on fiona

When I do this, I get:

$ /bin/rebaseall
/usr/lib/perl5/5.14/i686-cygwin-threads-64int/CORE/cygperl5_14_2.dll: skipped because nonexistent.
/usr/x86_64-pc-cygwin/sys-root/usr/bin/cygcrypto-1.0.0.dll: skipped because wrong machine type.

/usr/x86_64-pc-cygwin/sys-root/usr/bin/cygz.dll: skipped because wrong machine type.
$

and my emacs behavior is even worse.
