I have 64-bit Win7 with cygwin, and after a while this sort of thing runs out of resources (errno 11) until I reboot (and then starts up after a few ok runs, as just now): $ find . -name "*.java" | while read i ; do > echo %%%% $i >> x > grep foob $i >> x > done 375832787 [main] -bash 6020 fork: child -1 - forked process died unexpectedly, retry 0, exit code -1073741819, errno 11 -bash: fork: retry: Resource temporarily unavailable -bash: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable And I think I have noticed lots of bash processes hanging around, though not in this instance. $ uname -a CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW64 mybox 1.7.13(0.260/5/3) 2012-04-05 12:43 i686 Cygwin Bill
