- Subject: fixed, sorta - 20040225 snapshot problem + gdb/cygpath/others runtime error
After running a windows update, which installed some 12 critical patches
for windows 2000, and 4 optional ones, the gdb/cygpath/others crash has
disappeared.
example of the problem:
C:\cygwin>cygpath
28 [main] ? 2608 init_cheap: Couldn't reserve space for cygwin's heap, Win3
2 error 487
c:\cygwin\bin\cygpath.exe (2608): *** AllocationBase 0x0, BaseAddress 0x616A0000
, RegionSize 0x1AE0000, State 0x10000
So there does appear to be some combination of windows 2000 settings that hose
the february snapshots, but current from microsoft as of 2/27/2004 seems to fix
them.
There was no difference (or than system time and hard drive free space) between
a cygcheck -s -v -r from the broken system and the working system.
This is for the archives, mostly.
