I have 64-bit Win7 with cygwin, and after a while this
sort of thing runs out of resources (errno 11) until I reboot (and then starts
up after a few ok runs, as just now):
?
$ find . -name "*.java" | while read i ; do

375832787 [main] -bash 6020 fork: child -1 - forked
process died unexpectedly, retry 0, exit code -1073741819, errno 11
-bash: fork: retry: Resource temporarily unavailable
-bash: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable
?
And I think I have noticed lots of bash processes hanging
around, though not in this instance.
