When starting Git Bash, I receive the following errors:
0 [main] bash 18088 fork: child 14072 - died waiting for dll loading, errno 11
bash: fork: retry: No child processes
1190419 [main] bash 18088 fork: child 8744 - died waiting for dll loading, errno 11
bash: fork: retry: No child processes
3343518 [main] bash 18088 fork: child 12324 - died waiting for dll loading, errno 11
bash: fork: retry: No child processes
7480858 [main] bash 18088 fork: child 17008 - died waiting for dll loading, errno 11
bash: fork: retry: No child processes
15635036 [main] bash 18088 fork: child 8108 - died waiting for dll loading, errno 11
bash: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable
bash-4.3$

My connection is great at 72 Mbps download and 93 Mbps upload.  I don't receive other errors so it appears to be a Git Bash issue to me.

Thanks,
Brian

Have you tried searching through Git for Windows bugtracker [1] for
your problem.  I'm pretty sure it was recently discussed there.
The issue #776 [2] looks like the one you're experiencing.

Thanks, Khomoutov.  I turned out that when I went back to version 2.7.0 of Git (as mentioned in this post https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/776) that I no longer received the fork errors.  However, then I received a Permission error and also wasn't thrilled that I had to use an old Git.  After some installing and uninstalling different ways, I remembered that when things were working for me in the past, I had the GitHub shell installed.  So, I installed the GitHub shell with the newest version of Git and was able to use its  Git Shell without problem.  Now, I can build my app with npm successfully.
