problem starting xterm

[Yadin Y. Goldschmidt]

I would like to add that if I try to start rxvt instead I get:

$ C:\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe (964): *** unable to remap C:\cygwin\usr\

X11R6\bin\cygX11-6.dll to same address as parent(0x960000) != 0xB60000

5 [main] rxvt 316 sync_with_child: child 964(0x120) died before initializa

tion with status code 0x1

238 [main] rxvt 316 sync_with_child: *** child state child loading dlls

rxvt: can't fork

rxvt: aborting
