Welcome to Win 9x.  You need to reset the value for heap_chuck_size in your registry to something your Win 9x likes.  Whatever its set to is too high for 
you.  You can find a discussion about this in the email archives, at least 
several months back.  This was a problem with a cygwin1.dll briefly, though 
there shouldn't be an issue with any current DLL AFAIK.  Are you sure you 
downloaded something current?

To fix this, change the value in the registry to something smaller than what
it's set to now.  Check the mail archives for this registry key to find its
exact location or search your registry.  128 is a value that should resolve
your issue.
