I'm running XP *and* I'm using tcsh on a regular basis and I'm not able
to reproduce that effect.

Dear Cygwin Folks:

I would have posted this to the message thread, but I didn't have the
time to research how to go about doing that.  Please pass this along to
anyone that might benefit.

Well, I know of at least one way to cause this problem!  My cygwin
installation was running fine for over a year on an XP machine without
any problems.  Today, out of nowhere, it starts giving me the "Out of
memory" error whenever I try to run tcsh.  I can run bash just fine.  I
decided to blow away my installation and reinstall, which reset my home
directory back to "C:\Documents and Settings ...".  This cured the
problem!  So when I edited /etc/passwd to put my home directory back to
"/home/golde", the problem returned.  Looking in that directory revealed
that the .history file was huge.  I blew it away and everything was
fine.  I have no idea what caused it to spaz out, but anyway this is at
least one way to cause tcsh to experience the "Out of memory" problem. 

Best Regards,

V Edward Gold, Jr.
