> Then why does the following code fail? To find out, run /bin/perl.8.6.exe under gdb/insight and breakpoint sbrk. You'll see that VirtualAlloc is failing. By reassigning $eip to GetLastError immediately after one of the failing calls, you'll see that the problem is error code 487 - ERROR_INVALID_ADDRESS. Perhaps there's something else occupying the memory map that prevents the heap from being extended contiguously. In any case, you should be able to improve things by setting the heap_chunk_in_mb registry key. Turn it up waaaay big! cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today.... -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
