Dear cygwin friends, while debugging some emacs related problem, we seem to come to the conclusion that there is a cygwin issue here. can someone please comment on this?

Okay, thanks. This shows that free_image does get called.
What image types did you try till now? If you tried with only one image type, please see if other image types exhibit the same problem (i.e. that memory is not returned to system when an image is killed and the image cache cleared).
problem occurs with both jpeg and gif. I didnt try others
If you already tried all the supported image types, I cannot think of any reason but one: that the Cygwin implementation of malloc/free does not return freed memory to the OS. If this is the conclusion, then it should probably be taken up with Cygwin maintainers on their mailing list.
