Cannot launch when enabling Mandatory ASLR in Windows Security #327

Description

@szw0407

As described in title.

The program was not just working at all, and the installation failed as bash cannot launch properlly. If I just unzip and use the exe file directly it says:


Error: Could not fork child process: Resource temporarily unavailable (-1).
DLL rebasing may be required; see 'rebaseall / rebase --help'.

I am not quite sure whether this issue should be reported here or somewhere else, and I am just a user who has no idea what it means, thus no more information can be provided. Sorry for that.

According to the Microsoft docs,

Address space layout randomization (ASLR) is a computer security technique involved in preventing exploitation of memory corruption vulnerabilities. In order to prevent an attacker from reliably jumping to, for example, a particular exploited function in memory, ASLR randomly arranges the address space positions of key data areas of a process, including the base of the executable and the positions of the stack, heap and libraries.

Personally I think it enhanced security, but perhaps some features like forking a process may not work properlly.
