Cygwin runtime errors (“couldn't allocate cygwin heap”)












2















I am getting following exceptions when I start running some commands in Cygwin.



C:cygwinbinbash.exe (4136): *** couldn't allocate cygwin heap, Win32 error 0,
base 0x740000, top 0x755000, reserve_size 86016, allocsize 86016, page_const 40
96
30952849 [main] bash 7928 sync_with_child: child 4136(0x240) died before initial
ization with status code 0x1

bash: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable
bash-2.05b$ ls
C:cygwinbinbash.exe (4236): *** couldn't allocate cygwin heap, Win32 error 0,

32478264 [main] bash 7928 sync_with_child: *** child state waiting for longjmp
bash: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable


If this is a memory issue, How can I increase the heap size for Cygwin, I am using windows7



Thanks in advance for any help

This looks like a classic fork() error. See the relevant section in the Cygwin FAQ for more information.
