Hi, I have just encountered a situation that I think shouldn't happen.
Here's the transscript of the bash session. The is a full installation of Cygwin on a Windows 2000 Pro workstation. The failure of the first run of ./foo is expected. But the error for the second run of ./foo is not expected. As a matter of fact, after the first run of ./foo, ALL commands (cygwin or otherwise, such as ls and notepad, except bash built-ins) generate the same error. I checked that I have only one cygwin1.dll on my system, and it's at the correct location (C:\cygwin\bin). -- Weiqi Gao [EMAIL PROTECTED] ============================================ [WGAO ~] 1 $ cd temp/src/c/memory/ [WGAO ~/temp/src/c/memory] 2 $ cat foo.c #include <stdlib.h> int main() { int i; char *p; for (i = 0; i < 1024*1024; i++) { p = (char *) malloc(1024); if (p == NULL) { perror("malloc failed"); printf("%d\n", i); break; } } } [WGAO ~/temp/src/c/memory] 3 $ make foo gcc foo.c -o foo [WGAO ~/temp/src/c/memory] 4 $ ./foo malloc failed: Not enough memory 260130 [WGAO ~/temp/src/c/memory] 5 $ ./foo C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe: *** mount table size version mismatch detected - 0x409/0x4068.
