I am trying to rebuild the Cygwin tools under W98 and keep getting this
error message when running make:

Cannot fork: Resource temporarily unavailable.
Despite rebooting the machine and ensuring that sufficient swap space is
available this continues to recur.

This is the extract from the make.log

Thanks.
