And you can also add another recent link:
    http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-03/msg00946.html
to your list ;-(

Just to remind that I also have this problem, my system beeing a
proffessional XP box (upgraded from Me). And that i have noticed that
this have repercutions on some native programs which are not able (then)
to work correctly.
Now, thanks to you Mike, I know that this seems linked to a limitation
with PID numbers.

Regarding Corina's remark, I speak for myself but I am quite certain
others will agree: I'd be pleased to know what is terribly wrong with my
system.

May be our PID numbers consumption is going very fast because we have
some "resident" programs like anti-viruses, firewalls, etc. But the
problem still remains: there is a limit that stop us from using cygwin
to accomplish more or less critical things like recompiling some
programs.
