#294 Fatal error in forked process - fork: can't reserve memory for parent stack

[Rob van Eijk]

After upgrading to WIndows 10 1511 November upgrade I get the following below. To me it looks that it may have to do with MSYS. I am not sure, but maybe nppexec needs to be compiled with the new MSYS2 to overkome the fork error.

I am running Windows 10, Cygwin, Notepad++ v6.8.6 (portableapps), nppexec 0.5.3.

The stackdump file is attached.
