Yes we are aware, but I can't tell you much more.

Subject: [Mingw-users] MSYS completely broken on XP64.


Was anyone aware that MSYS is completely broken on Windows XP 64bit
edition?  I'm using Intel 64-bit Extensions processor.  I get the
following error for all MSYS executables (but not mingw apps.)

C:\>rxvt
c:\msys\1.0\bin\rxvt.exe: *** fork: can't reserve memory for stack
0x480000 - 0x680000, Win32 error 0
      0 [main] rxvt 2548 sync_with_child: child 3912(0x278) died before
initialization with status code 0x1
    641 [main] rxvt 2548 sync_with_child: *** child state waiting for
longjmp
rxvt: can't fork
rxvt: aborting

------

If there is awareness of the problem, can anyone point me to a work
around?  I've tried compatability mode, and it just changes the error
message:

C:\>rxvt
AllocationBase 0x0, BaseAddress 0x715B0000, RegionSize 0x10000, State
0x10000
c:\msys\1.0\bin\rxvt.exe: *** Couldn't reserve space for cygwin's heap,
Win32 error 0

Thanks in advance!
