Hi,

    I'm using a "CoolView" cygwin.dll from about a month ago
with slight modifications (in areas unrelated to this problem).
The following program crashes:

    main()
    {
        char *x;

        x = (char *)malloc(1948280173);
        printf("allocated: %x\n", x);
    }

The proper behavior would be a return value of "0" being
printed (assuming you dont have 1948280173 bytes free :)

                                Tim N.
