Aha, I just looked at the email subject. A Google for "address space is already
occupied" finds me this post on the ML:
<http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2012-02/msg00665.html>. Which should point you at
the FAQ you're after.

FAQ-maintaining folk: would it make sense to add "Address space needed by ...
is already occupied" to the list of relevant errors at
<http://cygwin.com/faq-nochunks.html#faq.using.fixing-fork-failures>?
