The following patch to the B20.1 winsup sources is experimental.

At least for my setup, this patch seems to provide a suitable
work-around for the 'make' "vfork: No more processes" build
problem on Windows 95. After applying this patch, I have
experienced no page faults and no problems doing builds, even
on multiple sub-directories.

This patch to B20.1 is based on patches to the latest B21
snapshot by DJ Delorie on Jan 15, 1999.

Thanks, DJ. Thank you very much. I take back every disparaging
thing I have ever said or thought about Cygwin. I love it!

I am not a programmer. I have no experience, no background,
and no training in programming. I can't even read code,
much less write it. I have no idea what this patch does.
