Hi Kelly
I found what was the problem for the instability of cygwin under my WXP. Since I
have noticed some others mails or requests on the web related to that problem
(specially on vista), may be it would be interesting for the build-dev mailing
lists to share the following URLs:
http://cygwin.com/faq/faq.using.html#faq.using.bloda
http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#BLODA
(I removed the Logitech webcam software with "Logitech process monitor" service
and after rebooting, there were no more any heap allocation error)

Hi OpenJDK Team
While trying to build OpenJDK on WXP SP2, I am facing to a recurrent
problem with cygwin that crashes because it could not allocate heap
space...
$ make
7 [main] ? (232756) C:\Progra~1\cygwin\bin\sh.exe: *** fatal
error - could
n't allocate heap, Win32 error 487, base 0x6D0000, top 0x6E0000,
reserve_size 61
440, allocsize 65536, page_const 4096
This intermittent heap memory allocation problem is a recurent one
explained many times on the cygwin archives mailing list.
Even with the suggested command explained in
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2005-11/msg00413.html
regtool -i set /HKLM/Software/Cygnus\
Solutions/Cygwin/heap_chunk_in_mb 2048
make fails on a regular basis... even after the execution of a
rebaseall as stated in the cygwin mails.
So, that's why I am wondering if you plan to use cpptasks and ant
script since using cpptask and the ant-contrib library could be a
viable alternative to avoid the cygwin unstability.
No.
I have never seen this cygwin problem before. Cygwin has been very stable
for me and nobody has reported any kind of problem like this.
