Hi,
?
I am using Cygwin (CYGWIN_NT-5.2-WOW64 1.7.11(0.260/5/3) 2012-02-24 14:05 i686 Cygwin) on Microsoft Windows Server 2003 X64 Service Pack 2 .
?
When I invoke C:/cygwin/bin/sh.exe from the command prompt it fails intermittently with the?following error.
?
$ C:/cygwin/bin/sh.exe -c 'date'
29196764 [main] sh 3588 fork: child -1 - forked process died unexpectedly, retry
?0, exit code -1073741819, errno 11
sh: fork: retry: Resource temporarily unavailable

?0, exit code -1073741819, errno 11
sh: fork: retry: Resource temporarily unavailable
?
What are the possible causes for this error. Would reinstalling cygwin help ?
?
thanks,
Prakash
