Re: perl - segfault on "free unused scalar"

After setting heap_chunk_in_mb to 2048, all those tests passed. Thanks! But I
still don't understand why C isn't bound by heap_chunk_in_mb and perl is.

I think you're confused. All Cygwin programs, including those written in C, are bound by heap_chunk_in_mb. Unless you are somehow generating a pure Windows program from your C source (e.g., using "gcc -mno-cygwin")...

I am not. I understand that this is how it should work theoretically, but I've _checked_ that on a couple of Cygwin boxes with different versions of cygwin1.dll and gcc. All of them didn't really care that heap_chunk_in_mb was undefined in the registry. Perl, on the other hand, do care.
