mmap of large amount returns invalid pointer

- Subject: mmap of large amount returns invalid pointer
I am experience a problem where mmap does not return -1, but the
pointer returned is not to a valid chunk of memory. I have included a
sample program, the output that I see, and the output of cygcheck
below.
I have tried this program both with and withouth the registry setting
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\heap_chunk_in_mb
which, when set, I have set to 512Mb. BTW, I notice that this
registry value isn't checked for by cygcheck. That would seem
useful.
Even if I got the registry setting wrong, I would expect mmap to
return -1 if it is unable to get the space.
Thanks for your help.
