Tsirkin" Cc: gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com Sir: The errors (D:\apps\cygnus\b19\H-i386-cygwin32\bin\sed.exe 1125) commit_and_inc: VirtualAll oc failed are issued by cygwinb19.dll, near the infamous "The heap has been split, CYGWIN can't fork this process. Increase the heap_chunk_size in the registry and try again.", to indicate that you have insufficient physical RAM and cygwin is unable to get any virtual memory. These happen to me often enough and the only thing I have been able to do is unload as many jobs as possible (including make any shells) and add as much RAM as I can afford (my system limit has recently been reached). For some reason, the VirtualAlloc apprears bent (if not broken). I have poked around in the .dll to see if anything glaring appears, but cannot find anything. It NEVER seems capable of obtaining anything but RAM. No Virtual memory is ever used directly by a cygwin process??? W. M.
