It looks like you don't have enough swap space or main memory available
for Cygwin's heap.

The most recent discussion of this in the mailing list is here:

http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2001-02/msg00083.html

In your case you want to set the size *down*, though, instead of up.
You can start with 128 and work your way down to something that either
works or gives you a different message.

If setting this doesn't work then the only alternative is to get more
memory or increase the size of your swap area on your hard disk.  The
setting for this is somewhere under Control Panel->System->Performance,
I believe.
