On XP, starting from a cmd.exe prompt:

c:\cygwin\bin> bash
      6 [main] ? 3816 init_cheap: Couldn't reserve space for cygwin's heap,
Win32 error 487
c:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe (3816): *** AllocationBase 0x0, BaseAddress
0x616E0000, RegionSize 0x1AA0000, State 0x10000

c:\cygwin\bin> cygpath
      3 [main] ? 4072 init_cheap: Couldn't reserve space for cygwin's heap,
Win32 error 487
c:\cygwin\bin\cygpath.exe (4072): *** AllocationBase 0x0, BaseAddress
0x616E0000, RegionSize 0x1AA0000, State 0x10000

On a different machine (a laptop), cygpath crashes but bash does not.

gawk, pwd, perl, vim, sed, and tr do not crash.

When I roll back to 1.5.5-1 everything works.  (prev in setup.ini was
1.5.5-1 instead of 1.5.7-1, and after trying several time to get setup to
install 1.5.7-1 out success, I gave up.)
