Subject: 'Heap_init: unable to allocate heap, win32 error 87' from gcc.

Hi everyone,

I have installed the latest release of GNU-Win32 (b18) at home and at 
work.
Home is Pentium 200 MMX with NT Server 4.0 SP3 with 32 MB RAM, work is
Pentium 133 with NT Server 4.0 SP3 with 64 MB RAM. I have followed all
instructions from the README.

In both locations, gcc doesn't run. Instead, whenever I try to start it, 
I
get the error 'heap_init: unable to allocate heap, win32 error 87'. I
attach a file with the complete output I get. The last two lines are
repeated over and over again until I press Ctrl+Break, at which point NT
informs me that the application has suffered a C0000005 exception and 
kills
it.

Does anybody know what is causing this and how I can get it to work? 
It's
unlikely to be a configuration error in NT, since it occurs both at work
and at home. I haven't tried it under Windows 95, since I don't have 
that
running anywhere.

Thanks,
Pepijn Schmitz
