I start the batches with the following command (without /b): start test2.bat about 10 times. And after 7 minutes all batches are stopped with the following error: "Für diesen Befehl ist nicht genügend Speicher verfügbar." (german WIN7) ==> "not enough memory for that command" But the memory is freed again and win7/64 SP1 works fine. (just for information - cause your system went haywire). OK it really seems to be win7 problem. I'm really glad to hear that this is not a cygwin error. But thanks a lot for figuring that out. heiko -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
