Cygwin on Windows Server 2003 64 bit

Cygwin on Windows Server 2003 64 bit

[Dave Salton]

Has anyone successfully run cygwin on Windows Server 2003 64 bit? I have 
installed cygwin 1.3.22-1 without a problem, but when I run the bash shell, 
I get a fork error:

C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe: *** fork: can't reserve memory for stack 0xF0000 - 
0x2F0
000, Win32 error 0
      6 [main] bash 3156 sync_with_child: child 3160(0x6A4) died before 
initiali
zation with status code 0x1
    367 [main] bash 3156 sync_with_child: *** child state waiting for 
longjmp
bash: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable
bash-2.05b$

I have tried *all* of the compatibility options for bash.exe (ie. XP, down 
to 95), but this has not prevented the error. I am running under the 
server's Administrator id, so security should not be an issue.

The machine is an Intel Itanium server: four processor (64 bit), 4 gb 
memory.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Dave

I would be astonished if it worked.  However, if you want to send me
a 64 bit system with Windows Server 2003 64 bit installed, I'll see
what I can do.
