Hello,
Recently I've been doing some upgrades to my Cygwin (DLL version:
1.7.7) installation (Win XP with all updates on a Dell390 with 4GB
RAM). When the Cygwin installer gets to running the appropriate
postinstall script, it invariably hangs from fatal errors having to do
with "couldn't allocate heap". Here is an example output in
setup.log.full for upgrading to the latest 'man' package:

2010/11/10 17:58:14 Ending cygwin install
What I am finding out is that if I kill Setup (while hanging on the
post-install script) and then manually run the post install script,
the newly upgraded package seems to run just fine. Then I add ".done"
to the end of the post-install script so it doesn't try to run during
the next upgrade.
What is going on here? Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks!
