I'm running Windows 8.1 (cygcheck.out attached) and did a Windows
update this morning. Since then I cannot run emacs-X11. Sometimes
the message is:
Memory exhausted--use M-x save-some-buffers then exit and restart Emacs
Often there is no message. Once I got:
***MEMORY-ERROR***: emacs[2924]: GSlice: failed to allocate 2040 bytes
(alignment: 2048): Cannot allocate memory
Fatal error 6: AbortedAbort (core dumped)
Does the problem occur with "emacs -Q"?
Yes.
Have you checked http://cygwin.com/faq/faq.html#faq.using.bloda ?
I hadn't previously. The only thing on that list that I run, to the
best of my knowledge, is Windows Defender. I turned off real-time
checking and tried emacs-X11 again, with the same result (a "Memory
exhausted" error).
I'm not sure turning off real-time protection is enough. Can you
actually disable Windows Defender completely?
