Hi, I recently installed the latest version of cygwin after using previous (1.5) versions
without problems. Almost nothing works on 1.7 and even after reinstalling my machine
I still have the same problem. My machine runs Windows XP SP2.
My install.log.full has a lot of errors like this one:
3879146 [main] bash 3716 fork: child -1 - died waiting for longjmp before initialization, retry 0, exit code 0x100, errno 11
4 [main] bash 3872 C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe: *** fatal error - couldn't allocate heap, Win32 error 487, base 0x6D0000, top 0x740000, reserve_size 454656, allocsize 458752, page_const 4096
This doesn't only happen with bash, it was also happening with other apps such as rsync before I reinstalled the operating system.
Any ideas or hints for diagnosing this? Can I acquire an older setup.exe and try installing a previous version of cygwin?
