Still running out of process IDs

- Subject: Still running out of process IDs
Hi,
I'm still having the process ID problem. It gets to around 65k when I
do any decent-sized build and then I get forking errors etc., making
programming very hard. The process numbers seem to go up by 4's (every
one is divisible by 4) and the lower ones don't seem to get reused all
the time, hence they keep increasing and I run out.
I'm on XP Home with the latest experimental cygwin library (1.13.12.1).
ANY suggestions would be helpful because the only way I've found to
reset the processes is to reboot. Is there a way to 'reset' cygwin
itself without rebooting? I don't have any problems with windows
processes and the taskmanager looks normal.
cygcheck output is attached. The original thread is

Thanks,
Nils.
