large memory allocation via new causes segmentation fault in G++ compiled programs



I'm running cygwin on a WINNT PIII machine with 785 meg of memory. The
program below compiles
without error both in g++ and MSVC6.0. The MSVC compile executable runs
correctly, but the
G++ compiled executable gives me a segmentation fault (returning 0 from new)
when over 128 meg
of memory is allocated.
 Is there some way to correct the error?  Here is the program:

int main()
{
char *p;
        // allocate 150,000,000 bytes > 128 Meg limit
        p = new char[150000000];
        p[50] = 'a';
}

And here are the g++ parameters:
