Hello,

This afternoon, for the first time, I began
experiencing the

C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe: *** fatal error - couldn't
allocate heap ....
... child_copy: stack write copy failed,...

errors that have been reported on this list before. I
am getting these errors on every '#! /bin/bash'
script, though I can initially open a bash shell.

I tried changing the heap sizes, and tried rebaseall -
neither made a difference.

Earlier today I had installed the drivers for my new
Logitech webcam. Suspecting that these might be the
problem, I killed all the Logitech processes,
restarted all my Cygwin services, restarted Cygwin/X,
and lo & behold, all the errors disappeared and
everything worked fine.

It'd be great to get these to work together, but not
the end of the world if its not possible. Any
thoughts?

Thanks,

Ant.
