Re: win2k "resource" exhaustion problem - no Cygwin programs willrun


Why not try uninstalling the firewall/virus scanner, restart your computer, and try this again.

the problem persists.

it does, however, appear to be memory related.
as the script runs, physical memory usage climbs
slowly to 225248k (out of 261424k), at which point the
script dies.

i show some system statistics below.

Hello,


It looks like a problem several people are

experimenting.


Lately, someone exposed a link between this problem

and Agnitum Outpost


(a firewall) that seems to forget to free some

resources. This sounds


plausible, from my point of view, as I also have

Outpost and I'm


experimenting this problem.


[BTW, Rampage was evoked as a possible workaround,

but it had no


positive effect on my system.]


HTH,
Luc Hermitte
