4) Adjusting the Cygwin memory limit:
From the <cygwin at cygwin.com> mailing list archive (Charles Werner
<cw at gamma-rs dot ch>, Tue 04 Feb 2003 10:31:03 +0100):
Cygwin comes with a maximum program size (program+data) of 384
MB. This means that by default no program can allocate more than
this. To run using more real or virtual memory in your machine you
must add a entry in the Cygwin HKEY_CURRENT_USER section of the
registry. Add the DWORD value heap_chunk_in_mb and set it to desired
memory limit in decimal MB using the regtool program included in the
Cygwin cygutils package. In this example the limit is set to 1024 MB:
regtool -i set /HKCU/Software/Cygnus\ Solutions/Cygwin/heap_chunk_in_mb 1024
regtool -v list /HKCU/Software/Cygnus\ Solutions/Cygwin
Exit all running Cygwin processes and restart them. Memory can be
allocated up to the size of the system swap space minus any the size
of any running processes. The system swap should be at least as large
as the physically installed RAM and can be modified under the System
category in the Control Panel accessible through the Settings tag of
the Win32 Start menu.
