And it is not an error on parsing the problematic file.
perltoc.pod is by far the largest file with the most links.

perl -mPod::Simple::HTML -ePod::Simple::HTML::go \
      /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/pods/perltoc.pod > perltoc.html

works fine.
And after renaming /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/pods/perltoc.pod to 
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/pods/perltoc.pod~
it also works fine.
So it's clearly a cygwin or perl specific memory issue.
