Did you reboot? Windows won't notice the changes made by peflagsall 
until you do so.

Also, you never mentioned what you are making. Are you, by chance 
building an app which builds helper binaries and/or lots of shared 
libraries? Apps such as emacs, gcc, and perl are a few examples.

BTW, I don't recognize that particular error message. CGF, does it mean 
anything significant?
