Hey, Just my 5 cents to this. As Corinna pointed out, is the case, that a "small" memory model application works for you, no valid prove that all application will work on such a model. Another thing, which cygwin depends heavily on is the pseudo-relocation stuff. It is not guaranteed that code distance between DSOs are in valid range here to fit in a single instruction to be relocated. So the distance allowed for a "small model instruction" might be in some cases even less 4 GB. For pseudo-relocation the large memory model is absolutely mandatory for bigger application.
