I am having the same issue as Paul (http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2010-11/msg00170.html), but I have already tried rebaseall and I have nothing on the BLODA list.
System is: Windows XP 32 bit (with SP3 and all updates) Cygwin Version: 1.7.9-1 In fact, I stripped my system down until I literally have almost nothing extra running period- but I still get the same issue. When I try to use setup.exe to manage dmalloc- it gives me exit code 254 for every single postinstall script (after taking forever to complete each one). It doesn't matter if I am installing it, re-installing it, or uninstalling it- the setup always fails. The problems in the setup.log.full are noted as such: For: etc/postistall/000-cygwin-post-install.sh **************************************************** bash (some number) C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe *** fatal error - Couldn't allocate heap, Win32 error 487 For 000-cygwin-post-install.sh and all other post-install scripts afterward: **************************************************** bash (some number) fork: child -1 - died waiting for longjmp before initialization, retry 0, exit code 0x100, errno 11 (path of the script here): fork: retry: Resource temporarily unavailable bash (some number) C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe *** fatal error - Couldn't allocate heap, Win32 error 487, base 0x4E0000, top 0x550000, reserve_size 454656, allocsize 458752, page_const 4096 At this point, I literally have no idea why these things should be failing but I am wondering if there is some issue with the setup system itself. I previously had a copy of Cygwin 1.5 on this machine and it never had any issues. When cleaned out that copy and installed 1.7 I recall that it was working okay, but I had a few packages that had some issues with their post-install scripts when I tried to use setup to manage my installation (so ultimately, I just decided to forgo those packages). However, I do actually need dmalloc. Hence I am wondering what the heck the problem is. Here was the list of programs running on the machine on my last attempt to run setup.exe, following a full rebaseall in ash: smss.exe csrss.exe winlogon.exe services.exe wmiprvse.exe alg.exe lsass.exe explorer.exe ctfmon.exe svchost.exe - DcomLaunch svchost.exe - RpcSs svchost.exe - Automatic Updates - BITS - Com+ Event Manager - Computer Browser - Cyptographic Services - DHCP Client - Distributed Link Tracking Client - Error Reporting Service - Help and Support - HID - Network Connections - NLA - Remote Access Manager - Secondary Login - Security Center - Server - Shell Hardware Manager - System Event Notification - Task Scheduler - Telephony - Themes - Windows Audio - Windows Firewall - WMI - Windows Time - Wireless Zero Configuration - Workstation svchost.exe - DNSCache svchost.exe - Remote Registry - SSDP Discovery Service - TCP/IP NetBIOS LMHosts svchost.exe - Webclient svchost.exe - Windows Image Acquisition (WMA) svchost.exe - HTTP SSL So that's everything- all the programs and services running. Nothing BLODA to my knowledge. Heck, if anything there WAS BLODA that should mean that cygwin should learn to play nicely with it- all of this stuff is basic WinXP services and programs. So hence... why? What else could be causing this issue? -- 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
