RE: Crashes with new cygwin-1.5.8-1 on XP


I installed gdb but cannot run it under 1.5.8-1.

c:\cygwin\bin> gdb
      3 [main] ? 2264 init_cheap: Couldn't reserve space for cygwin's heap,
Win3 2 error 487
c:\cygwin\bin\gdb.exe (2264): *** AllocationBase 0x0, BaseAddress
0x616E0000, RegionSize 0x1AA0000, State 0x10000

This does not happen for me under 1.5.5-1.

In any case, I'm not a programmer and I know nothing about using gdb.  So I
would need explicit instructions.

Any other suggestions?  (For what its worth, I don't had administrator
permissions, so I cannot do any XP updates by myself and can't imagine that
our support people will do any updates at my request.  Also, I cannot turn
off any antivirus

For me it was XWin and gdb.

Actually, though, if you can run gdb, you might be the person to help track
this problem down.
