Subject: Cygwin Shell Fails to Start when Enabling High Address
Date: Tue, 24 Feb 2015 21:33:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <a0044cbe3ab747048d7246806562f509@ntmaexbe03.bedford.progress.com> (raw)
Hi,
I had to enable high address for some machines for testing. I set the AllocationPreference registry key to be 0X100000.
To start by Cygwin shell, I have a script that does this:
@echo off
set CYGWIN="nodosfilewarning"
sh --login
The error I will get when trying to start the shell is this:
1 [main] sh 5648 c:\cygwin\bin\sh.exe: *** fatal error - internal error reading the windows environment - too many environment variables?
If I leave the CYGWIN variable unset, it will work fine. My concern is that when and if I come across an instance in my testing where I NEED the CYGWIN variable set, this problem will come up again. Are there any tips I can user to further investigate this issue?
Thanks,
Ben Cao
