Hi,

After upgrading Cygwin to the latest version (1.7.21), the Xfce
Terminal (Terminal.exe) has stopped working.

The windows shows up with a Cygwin/X error message, stating "Failed to
execute child. Failed to fork (Resource temporarily unavailable)."
Please see the attached screenshot.

It looks like the terminal can't load the shell: I can access the
Preferences for instance, but can't type any command into the terminal
itself.

I tried restarting the X server, Windows itself and reinstalling
Terminal, but to no avail.

Maybe in the latest update the Cygwin devs have changed something on
how X terminals interact with the shell?

Is there anything I can do to get it to work again?

Thanks!
Best,
