"Couldn't allocate heap" - tried rebasing

[Jesse Ziser]

Hello,

Since attempting to upgrade from Cygwin 1.5 to 1.7, I'm having the 
problem that attempting to run various programs results in a slew of 
errors like the following:

       1 [main] bash 4276 c:\cygwin\bin\bash.EXE: *** fatal error - 
couldn't allo
cate heap, Win32 error 487, base 0x740000, top 0x970000, reserve_size

I've tried all the standard solutions I could find suggested on the net, 
including the following:

   rebaseall
   peflagsall
   rebaseall -b 0x77000000
   rebaseall -b 0x76000000
   rebaseall -b 0x78000000
   doing a reinstall all using setup.exe
   wiping my cygwin directory and reinstalling
   rebaseall -b 0x60000000

The last one was based on a blog post that suggested running 
SysInternals' ListDLLs.exe to see what DLLs from the BLODA might be 
sticking themselves into Cygwin processes.  I found Sophos antivirus in 
all my Cygwin processes at address 6FA00000, and that's why I chose 
address 60000000 in my last rebaseall attempt.

I've attached a cygcheck report.

I know this issue has been discussed before, but emailing the list is my 
last resort before giving up and going back to Cygwin 1.5.

Thanks for reading!
