I have had the same problems on and off. I'm essentially following
the steps you documented, except I do this before:
- exit all Cygwin processes. For me, this is usually just the X server
- run 'ash' from a Window Command Prompt
- rebaseall from the ash prompt.
It's been good for the last week or so. I'm afraid to reboot the computer.
