vim/gvim under WinME ?

Hi,

With a new laptop, I had little choice of OS:  WinME was it, no Win2K (for
reliability) Win98 were not options.  (RedHat 7 too, but that's a different
story!)

www.cygwin.com doesn't mention Windows ME ... is there a reason for that?
I just downloaded most of the latest.  When I use the BASH shell I get my
suspicions:

$ vi
C:\CYGWIN\BIN\VI.EXE: *** 2. unable to allocate heap, heap_chunk_size
1073741824, Win32 error 8
$

Now, why is it trying to allocate a gig of heap space?  This is vim-5.7-4
according
to the downloaded filename.

p.s. please CC me directly, not on the list.
