I've 256MB RAM and more than 4GB of free disk space, so I settled the maximum dimension of the virtual memory at 3GB (under w2k) and the heap_chunk_in_mb at 2GB (using regedt32). Nevertheless the bash does not start and gives a "win32 error 8". The maximum value accepted for heap_chunk_in_mb (fixed the value for the virtual memory) is 1.2GB How can I increase the value of the total memory cygwin can allocate by new[]?
Thanks a lot for your suggestions.
