Answer: How to fix error "strace: error creating process vim, (error 2)"

Since no one bothered to reply to my previous message (help the cygwin newbies, yall!), I'll post the answer. If you get: ~$ strace vim strace: error creating process vim, (error 2) ~$ strace It's because vim is a symlink, and strace can't follow symlinks, as it's not a cygwin.dll program. Ins

RE: Issue with Cygwin perl *** fatal error - fork: can't reserve memory for stack

We did put a ticket for this issue. It is not really necessary to strace rebase.pl. When rebase was invoked with a long command, any attempt to fork, including a call to perl system() before anything else, causes this issue. I suggest not to translate junctions to targets, even if the functional
