Dave,

There is no JVM under Cygwin, so any JVM you're going to run will be a
Windows program and will ignore the heap_chunk_in_mb setting (I'm assuming
you're not running 'gcj', as you said "java for windows").

Do you get the same problem when running from a cmd.exe window?  If yes,
then it's a Java problem and off-topic for this list.  If you only get
this when running from a Cygwin program, please review

and post a proper problem report.  It would also help to know the version
of Java that you're attempting to run and the exact command line.
