- Subject: Crash under low memory
I've just been playing with some samples in java on my Win2k laptop.
XFree86 with a couple of rvxt's open was running in the background.
The java process ate up all the memory on the machine and I got the
windows "You system is running low on memory" dialog box appearing.

in it core dumped.
The XWin.exe.stackdump file gives ...

cygwin1.dll is loaded at base address 0x61000000, kernel32.dll is
loaded at base address 0x77e80000 and XWin.exe has base address
