I am running a bash shell on Windows XP
that is shipped with Git for Windows. The command window's title shows MINGW32, and the error message contains Cygwin
. This is the command that I run and the resulting error message
$ python replay.py --record C/Windows/Temp/archive-2013-01-03.wpr
0 [main] us 0 init_cheap: VirtualAlloc pointer is null, Win32 error 487
AllocationBase 0x1190000, BaseAddress 0x1350000, RegionSize 0x240000, State 0x20

c:\Python27\python.exe: *** Couldn't reserve space for cygwin's heap, Win32 error 6
Memory use is not the issue here, as show in this screenshot
Is there any way to tweak cygwin
or cmd.exe
on Windows XP
to solve the problem?
I realize I did not post the question clear enough. I am using the bash executable from
Git for Windows
http://msysgit.github.com/Suspect sh.exe (bash) is compiled using cygwin since the error message says so, although the command window's title shows MINGW32. Searched the whole hard disk, there is not any cygwin executable.
Open up Process Explorer, hit

and entercygwin
. Something's linked against it, as you note.
