unable to allocate heap

During a lengthy build of some proprietary software today, I received
this error:

c:\cygwin\bin\sh.exe: *** unable to allocate heap, heap_chunk_size 0,
Win32 error 0
make[1]: Leaving directory
`d:/nodeloadbuild/Incremental/p4/release1.0/main/node/pload'
c:\cygwin\bin\make: *** [pload] Error 2
c:\cygwin\bin\make: Leaving directory
`d:/nodeloadbuild/Incremental/p4/release1.0/main/node'

I have been unable to reproduce this problem (running it again worked
fine).

I was wondering if anybody could help me understand what it means.  Is
it running out of memory?  Is this a cygwin problem?

The maching doing the build is running 1.3.17.
