Yesterday I installed the final version of SP3 on my XP Professional system, which I downloaded via a link to the microsoft .exe via zdnet, just an hour or so before it was announced that MS is working on a filter to prevent updates to machines also running some retail software (not on my machine). Everything is working fine, except for the issue below. (1) Whenever I try to start a cygwin window via the default shortcut icon, which points to C:\cygwin\cygwin.bat (which is the same since 2005), I am getting 6 [main] ? (4596) C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe: ***fatal error - couln't allocate heap, Win32 error 487, base 0x6D0000, top 0x6E0000, reserve_size 61440, allocatesize 65536, page_cost 4096 The PID 4596 of course changes with each attempt. (2) If I try to start my X session via my long-time working script /usr/local/bin/startxwin.sh (a path-modified /usr/X11R6/bin/startxwin.sh), it fails the same way. However: (3) If I start an X window via Xming, and use its menu to start a cygwin window via cygwin execd "C:\cygwin\bin\bash --login -i" this works just fine also. (4) If I temporarily change a line in /cygwin.bat to use sh --login -i instead of the default bash --login -i and use the desktop shortcut to cygwin.bat, this also work OK. (4) I have several .csh and .sh scripts in /usr/local/bin that are run via schedules and these run just fine, e.g., updatedb.sh (just modifies the default paths in /bin/upfatedb, but is run via `#! /bin/sh` on line 1). I just ran updatedb.sh directly again from a window (started via (3) above) and it works just fine. I also temporarily changed the first line in my updatedb.sh to `#! /bin/bash` and this also seems to run OK. I have tried, without any change in the problem: (5) rebaseall via ash in a command window, which seems to have run just fine. (6) reinstalling bash, cygrunsrv, cygutils, cygwin (7) increasing memory by +512 in the 3 parameters in the registry Any other suggestions? I attach the output of `cygcheck -svr`. Thanks. Lester
