git-clone: forked process died unexpectedly

I am trying to install ruby on Cygwin using RVM. My system fails when
trying to clone a git repository on http.

  $ git clone http://github.com/developwithpassion/devtools
  Cloning into 'devtools'...
        2 [main] git-remote-http 444 fork: child -1 - forked process
4172 died unexpectedly, retry 0, exit code -1073741515, errno 11
  error: cannot fork() for fetch-pack: Resource temporarily unavailable

After checking the FAQs I ran rebaseall without any differences. I
also rebooted.


I actually get a similar problem in make when trying to build ruby
with RVM. Basically the make file stoppes at a line similar to this
one (simplified):

  ~/.rvm/src/ruby-1.9.3-p194 $   ./miniruby -e 'IO.foreach("|ls") {|l| puts l}'
        1 [main] miniruby 5664 fork: child -1 - forked process 5380
died unexpectedly, retry 0, exit code -1073741515, errno 11


My machine is a newly installed Windows 7 32 bit system.

I am willing to investigate this further given any tips on how to proceed.

In advance, thanks for any help.
