I was getting a huge slowdown and cannot fork type messages. Any file that was opened when the failed fork occurred got pieces of the page-file written to it. This is NOT a gnu-win problem, but an NT memory management problem. This does not ocurr under win95. I stopped these occurrences when I called make with the -j 1 option, and set the recursive calls to make within the makefiles to also use the -j 1 option. Compile times speeded up and memory usage shrank significantly. Does anyone know if any of the service packs cures this problem??
