Dave,
Some comments on your analysis.
The latest perl uses auto-image-base and the base address should be
different than default. It fails anyway.
Perl uses its own malloc, rebuilding with the system malloc shows
that it behaves similar than the C examples, I think the recent
changes in Cygwin do what they should do: make setting the heap
size superflous.
I will release another update of perl using the cygwin malloc *now*,
there is another problem which is exposed by Test::Harness, so I'll
need to update perl anyway to fix Test::Harness.
However, feel free to dig deeper if you think that you want to
improve cygwin.
