bash "Couldn't Allocate Heap" error - info.

[Antony Baxter]

Jonathan, Gunnar,

Excellent! Well done. Stopping that service does
indeed allow Cygwin to work properly again.

Gunnar - yes, its the process that makes the face
overlay work. I think I can live without this, though
it'll be a great disappointment to my 2.5 yr old
nephew who thinks that his uncle has turned into a
shark and, to be honest, is now far more interested in
talking to me. 

How about a new marketing slogan: "Cygwin - makes
children cry"?

:)

Ant.
