RE: Limit on memory allocation?


Hi Larry,

that's an old reply of mine, but not the most detailed 8-)
I wonder why http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin searching
for heap_chunk only finds this and 3 other, but not DJ's
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2000-04/msg00267.html 
which is much more useful?

Bye, Heribert (heribert_dahms@icon-gmbh.de)
