While compiling Mozilla with cygwin (a very long build) I have really
noticed a problem that I have seen a couple times before. At some point
in a build I get a fork: access denied message or something to that
effect and a couple other similar errors. I reboot the computer and
it's fine. If I try to continue using the computer I'll sooner or later
get an insuficient resources message, winamp if it's running might
crash, or the computer will outright crash.. So it has to be a leak of
some kind. Non paged memory goes up while compiling but it does that
anyway with other native programs that make heavy use of files but they
don't crash the computer. I have seached and found messages that talk
about leaks but I'm not positive it's relevent to my situation. I have
tried the current and previous release builds of the cygwin dll but both
exibit the same problem. I'm about to try to pull the latest revision
from cvs to see if that addresses it.
