Seriously though, someone there may well be able to answer this. On a related note, I didn't realise the fix would be so simple. My understanding was that the variables in question cannot cope with the address's being different between parent and child, and tacking a 1/2Mb on the end of the cygwin1.dll address space wouldn't affect that - that area would get relocated too. perhaps I'm missing something though.
