All programs that use cygwin1.dll report very high virtual memory

Hard to say without more information. Please see the Cygwin problem
reporting guidelines at <http://cygwin.com/problems.html>. FWIW, I
don't observe this on my machine (WinXP) -- all my bashes show around
2MB of virtual memory in the TaskManager.
Look at screenshot: http://home.shad.pp.ru/tmp/cygwin.png
Still cannot reproduce (my Process Explorer shows the same numbers as
the TaskManager). Which version of Process Explorer are you using? It
could also be a SysInternals bug, as Andrew suggested...
I like Process Explorer. In fact I use it instead of Task Manager. But
there are 2 things about Process Explorer that I don't like. One is this
wrong reporting of virtual memory and the other is the fact that Process
Explorer does not have a nice little graph of Network usage nor number
of users logged in (in the case of XP for example).
I sure wish that SysInternals would fix this but I'm not knowledgeable
enough to confront them intelligently.
