this is following of 'infinite recursion in git-svn'
#to reproduce this problem,
#1. please use latest cvs trunk
#2. set HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygwin\heap_chunk_in_mb=0x400
Starting program: /usr/bin/perl.exe /usr/lib/git-core/git-svn clone

[New Thread 5352.0x9c4]
warning: section .gnu_debuglink not found in

Breakpoint 1, heap_init () at /tmp/winsup/winsup/cygwin/heap.cc:81

mbi.RegionSize,

         breakpoint already hit 1 time
(gdb)

start_address continues to grow, and in heap.cc:94 it is used as base 
address.
which is not we wanted. and sbrk could fail if it used up MINHEAP_SIZE.

please fix this problem
Regards
