bash failed on win7 x64   
Anyone have seen bash failed on windows 7 (64bit)? I've installed both 6.4.1 and 6.5, 6.4.1 works OK, but 6.5 failed as 
below:

D:\>bash
      0 [main] us 0 init_cheap: VirtualAlloc pointer is null, Win32 error 487
AllocationBase 0x0, BaseAddress 0x71690000, RegionSize 0x110000, State 0x10000
C:\QNX650\host\win32\x86\usr\bin\bash.exe: *** Couldn't reserve space for cygwin's heap, Win32 error 0

D:\>

Thanks,

Lichun

Re: bash failed on win7 x64   
Frequently !!!  Multiple times a week on multiple computers. 
The simplest solution is to 'shutdown' windows.  Once powered off, restart.
Usually fixed on the next reboot but there have been some occasions that required 2 power-downs.
This happens on 6.4.1 and 6.5.0.   Most people here use 6.4.1 (project requirement).

Hi Lichun,

Try the attached msys-1.0.dll that is rebased at a different address.

Thanks, Ryan.

That works OK so far.

Re: RE: bash failed on win7 x64   
Yesterday was good, but this morning it failed again.  (msys from this discussion)

      0 [main] us 0 init_cheap: VirtualAlloc pointer is null, Win32 error 487
AllocationBase 0x0, BaseAddress 0x71110000, RegionSize 0x40000, State 0x10000

Re: RE: bash failed on win7 x64   
I have just applied http://community.qnx.com/sf/frs/do/viewRelease/projects.toolchain/frs.win32_utils.msys_update 
(extracted files to the C:\QNX641\host\win32\x86\usr\bin directory).  However this error is still preventing me from 
building my projects.
Any word on this?

Momentics is building again, however it is not clear what the issue was, nor is it clear if it will resurface (hopefully
 not right before a major release needs to be built).

Re: bash failed on win7 x64   
Hi Ryan, 

I am having similar build problems in Momentics:

make pre-build main-build 
rm -f P:/_Bin/Qnx32/ppc/Debug/libstdLibrary.a
      0 [main] us 0 init_cheap: VirtualAlloc pointer is null, Win32 error 487
AllocationBase 0x0, BaseAddress 0x71110000, RegionSize 0x1E0000, State 0x10000
C:\Programs\QNX\641\host\win32\x86\usr\bin\sh.exe: *** Couldn't reserve space for cygwin's heap, Win32 error 0
make: [pre-build] Error 1 (ignored)
      0 [main] us 0 init_cheap: VirtualAlloc pointer is null, Win32 error 487
AllocationBase 0x0, BaseAddress 0x71110000, RegionSize 0x1E0000, State 0x10000
C:\Programs\QNX\641\host\win32\x86\usr\bin\sh.exe: *** Couldn't reserve space for cygwin's heap, Win32 error 0


This build was working fine until late last week. Things got progressively worse until I can no longer build. When I 
first experienced this problem, I would reconstruct the workspace. The projects would build for a while but this problem
 would return after some time. I've installed all of the recommended patches in this thread but they do not seem to have
 any effect.

I am running Windows 7 x64 with all of the latest updates. 

Thanks...
