Subject: Still running out of process IDs
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed

Hi,

I'm still having the process ID problem.  It gets to around 65k when I 
do any decent-sized build and then I get forking errors etc., making 
programming very hard.  The process numbers seem to go up by 4's (every 
one is divisible by 4) and the lower ones don't seem to get reused all 
the time, hence they keep increasing and I run out.

I'm on XP Home with the latest experimental cygwin library (1.13.12.1). 
  ANY suggestions would be helpful because the only way I've found to 
reset the processes is to reboot.  Is there a way to 'reset' cygwin 
itself without rebooting?  I don't have any problems with windows 
processes and the taskmanager looks normal.

cygcheck output is attached.  The original thread is 
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-07/msg01894.html

Thanks,
Nils.
