> Cygwin doesn't control the memory use of non-cygwin programs.

Thank You cgf - that was the bit of information I was missing.

Coming from a Solaris background, it did not even occur
to me that "Windows 2003 enterprise server" would
impose a 2GB usable memory limit by default on an application.

Doesn't seem like a very 'enterprise' sort of thing to do ;-)

Thanks to all that replied.

And, this really is off-topic for this list.  Please take it up in a
java-related list.  This has nothing to do with cygwin, AFAICT.
Cygwin doesn't control the memory use of non-cygwin programs.
