Hi

This is an informal report as I've seen this message only once. Maybe
you'll be able to understand what went wrong.

$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.0 duli2 1.5.19s(0.141/4/2) 20051020 10:37:08 i686 unknown
unknown Cygwin

$ cat 305.cpp >/dev/clipboard
   3191 [main] cat 28784 set_clipboard: Couldn't write native format to
the clip
board C0FA CA0004
cat: write error: No space left on device

At that moment I had over 700 MB memory free. The file I was trying to
copy was a pure text file with size under 3 KB. After a few second the
same operation succeeded. Repeating it in an infinite loop never caused
any error again.

Regards
Krzysztof Duleba
