No; but maybe.  The memory limit has a fixed default of 256M based on  
what I see for this variable.  MSYS itself doesn't initialize the  
variable but looking at the code, it might pick up the value if it  
exists.  I don't remember how much hacking I did with it.  Looking in  
registry.cc it appears I may have changed the hive path.  Sorry, I've  
been away from the code too long.  I'm not even sure if the memory is  
controlled by this variable at all any longer.
