*** unable to allocate heap, heap_chunk_size 0, Win32 error 0

[Ronald van Gogh]

First of all, sorry, but I still don't know how to post a reply, since I'm 
registered on the mailinglist in digestmode and nobody seems to be able to 
tell how to reply on a single mail I see in this list of mails.

This problem becomes very urgent to us. If we can't fix it we might have to 
look for alternatives !

As I've told before we're collecting information on a dominoserver every 10 
minutes by running a bash script (cygwin) scheduled by Windows Scheduler 
(Splinterware). We noticed that sometimes (once or twice a day) this failed. 
To check the cause we created a new small shell script, which only writes a 
date and time to a file. Furthermore, to catch any stdout/stderr messages, 
we called the script by a batch file. The sources of both programs are 
described below.

schedule_chk.bat
-----------------------
@echo off
d:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe --login -i 
"d:/Lotus/Domino/Data/StatCollect/bin/schedule_chk.sh" 
 >>d:\cygwin\tmp\schk.txt 2>&1


schedule_chk.sh
-----------------------
#!/usr/bin/ksh
echo $(date) >> /tmp/schedule_chk.log

This generated the following outputfiles (the file schk.txt contains the 
errors):

As you can see the log file sometimes contains gaps and errormessages are 
written to stderr.
I've attached a cygcheck.out file for more information.

Kind regards, Ronald van Gogh
