Issue with Cygwin perl *** fatal error - fork: can't reserve memory for stack

The cause was that the argument list was long. That is, a program invoked with a long argument list could not fork. Perhaps this behaviour could be improved.

On the other hand, I tried creating a junction point with linkd.exe so that I could use short names for the openoffice source tree. But this didn't work becase the configure script translated junction points, because cygpath translates them. Why? This is surprising. For example if c:\ooo is a junction to c:\Documents and settings\myuser\openoffice, why should cygpath -w /cygdrive/c/ooo return c:\Documents...\openoffice rather than c:\ooo? At least that translation should be optional.
