Hello everybody, Since a little time, I'm facing strange problems with cygwin, when compiling software. After a certain time, I'm getting fork() error messages and that "ressources are not available".
I must send ahead, that I know the thread starting with http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2008-04/msg00622.html I have NO kind of the mentioned "BLODA" software installed on my system and my cygwin installation worked now for nearly 4 years. (Windows XP SP2, all security updates) So either there is a bug in the latest cygwin releases and/or in the gcc (I was able to compile 4.3.0 without any problem, so the problem occurred first after 4.3.0 was released) and/or a Windows update. I installed no new software (especially not of the "system-near" kind). Interesting to see is when I open the taskmanager of XP and look at the page file usage, it's nice to see how it grows and grows ... So a memory leak must occurr somewhere. After some time exactly after the fork() erros, my system tells me that it's out of memory and cannot start any program or service. Only a restart helps. When not using cygwin, no problem occurrs and also nothing is wrong with memory. I'd say a bug in cygwin, but perhaps also not.? -- mfg Thomas -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
