One of my Perl programs produces strange runtime errors on a Windows 7
system (CYGWIN_NT-6.1 32bit) of my colleague:

         0 [main] perl 4232 child_info_fork::abort: address space needed
   by 'Encode.dll' (0x370000) is already occupied
   Can't fork, trying again in 5 seconds at /client/bin/fexsend line 106.
         1 [main] perl 7720 child_info_fork::abort: address space needed
   by 'Encode.dll' (0x370000) is already occupied
   Can't fork, trying again in 5 seconds at /client/bin/fexsend line 106.
         1 [main] perl 5484 child_info_fork::abort: address space needed
   by 'Encode.dll' (0x370000) is already occupied
   Can't fork, trying again in 5 seconds at /client/bin/fexsend line 106.

I have never seen such an error before, neither with UNIX, nor with cygwin. 
I cannot reproduce this error on my Windows (7 and 8, 32 and 64 bit)
systems. 

Line 106 in /client/bin/fexsend is:

    $_ = `(lsb_release -d||uname -a)2>/dev/null`||'';
