Re: fixing heap_chunk_in_mb to 512MB doesn't work


Hello, can't help you but I had the same problem.  Sometimes Cygwin's
configuration sits in different parts of the registry, have a look in
LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\..etc..

If you have any luck, let me know, I just had to give up for the time-being.

Regards
