Hello. I have troubles using cygwin and I think you can resolve them.
I can't compile any programm with cygwin under my Windows 2000. When configure
script processing, some error occurs and script stops. After that, bash shell
that process configuration script unable to execute any command with error
"cannot fork: permission denied" or "cannot fork: resource temporarily unavailable"
or command executes and:

<---terminal--->
     72 [main] bash 2840 sync_with_child: child 30884(0x1D4) died before initialization with status code 0x80
   3898 [main] bash 2840 sync_with_child: *** child state waiting for longjmp
bash: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable
<---/terminal--->

happend. Execution a new cygwin shell instance (from link on desktop) cause
error messagebox that says "application initialization error (0xc0000142)".
Execution of any windows application cause this error messagebox too.
(Looks like it is windows problem becouse windows crashes, but this crash caused by
cygwin).

After reboot, all works, and if I start configuration script, windows crashes again
(after some time, while script processing...)
I don't know, what to do, I like cygwin too much, but I can't work with it.
My windows 2000 Russian is SP4 and patched with all available patches from
windowsupdate. In Windows 98 all works fine, configuration script successfully
processing. Configuration script log for libiconv-1.9.1 and gettext-0.12.1
included. I really need you help. Thanks very much in advance.
