Hi,
I run in a similar problem after I have updated cygwin1.dll from 1.7.9 to
1.7.11 on Win2k3 64bit. When I now try to start sshd as a service
C:\>net start sshd
The CYGWIN sshd service is starting.
The CYGWIN sshd service could not be started.
A system error has occurred.
System error 1067 has occurred.
The process terminated unexpectedly.
In the windows event viewer I found
"... starting service `sshd' failed: fork: 11, Resource temporarily
unavailable."
Inspired by Carl Soderstrom's solution for a similar problem I have tried
a program-individual heap size setting using
$ peflags --cygwin-heap=1024 /usr/sbin/sshd.exe
but without success. Unfortunately, since we have now cygwin1.dll in
version 1.7.11 I can no longer simply roll back to 1.7.9 (where the heap
setting was done in the previous global way).
Any hints welcome - Ulf-Dietrich

Thank you, that was helpful. In the end what seems to have fixed it was
to run an ash.exe shell (launched directly from the Start -> Run
dialog), run 'cd /bin;PATH=. rebaseall' in that, then re-launch the
Cygwin terminal, run the following commands:
$ peflags --cygwin-heap=1024 /usr/bin/run.exe
$ peflags --cygwin-heap=1024 /usr/bin/cygrunsrv.exe
I do not know if all those steps were necessary, but the programs seem
to work correctly now.
