plotting from octave: address space already occupied, fork aborts


I am using the 2011-08-29 snapshot at http://cygwin.com/snapshots because
cygwin-1.7.9-1 does not allow me to write to, or create, files on network drives
(http://cygwin.com/packages/cygwin/cygwin-1.7.9-1).

I am using Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit.

My current problem is using plotting commands from Octave.  It is not a gnuplot
problem because I can plot from gnuplot.  If I plot the simplest thing from
octave [ e.g. plot( 1:10 , 1:10 ) ], I get:

   5 [main] octave-3.4.2 2892 child_info_fork::abort: address space needed by
'max.oct' (004F0000) is already occupied
   error: popen2: process creation failed -- Resource temporarily unavailable
   error: called from:
   error:   /usr/share/octave/3.4.2/m/plot/__gnuplot_open_stream__.m at line 30,
column 44
   error:   /usr/share/octave/3.4.2/m/plot/__gnuplot_drawnow__.m at line 72,
column 19

I already did rebaseall and peflagsall from ash.  I ensured there were no cygwin
processes running, then invoked ash from the DOS command prompt.  I also
rebooted after peflagsall.

What else can I try?
