Just looked at what was going on in that other thread, and noticed that the original poster over in that thread, Chih-Yi Kuan, is having this problem with gdb under stock 1.5.7-1:
(from gdb under bash) 3 [main] ? 3552 cygheap_fixup_in_child: Couldn't reserve space for cygwin's heap (0x61670000 <0x15A0000>) in child, Win32 error 487 C:\cygwin\bin\gdb.exe (3552): *** m.AllocationBase 0x0, m.BaseAddress 0x61670000, m.RegionSize 0xB80000, m.State 0x10000 While I have the same problem under the 200402** snapshots, but not under 1.5.7-1. bash-2.05b$ gdb XWin.exe 175 [main] ? 1188 cygheap_fixup_in_child: Couldn't reserve space for cygwin' s heap (0x616A0000 <0xCA0000>) in child, Win32 error 487 C:\cygwin\bin\gdb.exe (1188): *** m.AllocationBase 0x0, m.BaseAddress 0x616A0000 , m.RegionSize 0x1AE0000, m.State 0x10000 The op's cygcheck is in the body of their original message.
