I've just upgraded GIT on Cygwin from git-1.6.1.2 to git-1.6.2.4. I'm getting a crash ... 21 [main] git 4620 C:\Cygwin\bin\git.exe: *** fatal error - couldn't allocate heap, Win32 error 487, base 0x990000, top 0xA10000, reserve_size 520192, allocsize 524288, page_const 4096 When I kill git.exe, I get ... 17 [unknown (0x1048)] GIT 1824 fork: child -1 - died waiting for longjmp before initialization, retry 0, exit code 0x1, errno 11 Reverting back to git-1.6.1.2 and the problem does not exist. Happy to help if given some direction.
