Re: Rewrite/fix cygwin1.dbg generation

If that is the case, then this is a welcome change but I'm wondering if
it really is true.  Since the debug stripping is linked to the way that
cygwin manages the cygwin heap, it is possible that things only appear
to work until you allocate more space in the heap.  Has anyone tried the
above with a program that, say, opens a lot of file handles?

"on the first _csbrk that tries to grow the heap,"
