Aha, I just looked at the email subject. A Google for "address space is already occupied" finds me this post on the ML: <http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2012-02/msg00665.html>. Which should point you at the FAQ you're after. FAQ-maintaining folk: would it make sense to add "Address space needed by ... is already occupied" to the list of relevant errors at <http://cygwin.com/faq-nochunks.html#faq.using.fixing-fork-failures>? -- 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
