Charles,

Did you read that section of the Cygwin User's Guide? That limit is not 
available RAM, but rather an additional Cygwin-imposed limit. I'd 
interpret that as a "system" limit and it certainly is "[other than] 
available memory and 2**32 address space."

How much memory do you want to allocate? What is your current Cygwin 
heap limit as indicated by the output of this command:

     regtool -v list '/HKLM/Software/Cygnus Solutions/Cygwin'

How does that value relate to the amount of RAM you'd like to be able 
to allocate in a single process?

Randall Schulz
