Re: Fwd: emacs-X11 memory problem after Windows update

I'm running Windows 8.1 (cygcheck.out attached) and did a Windows
update this morning.  Since then I cannot run emacs-X11.  Sometimes
the message is:

Memory exhausted--use M-x save-some-buffers then exit and restart Emacs

Often there is no message.  Once I got:

***MEMORY-ERROR***: emacs[2924]: GSlice: failed to allocate 2040 bytes
(alignment: 2048): Cannot allocate memory

Fatal error 6: AbortedAbort (core dumped)

There was a previous report of this problem from last October (see
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2013-10/msg00149.html), but there was no
resolution in that thread.

emacs-w32 runs without problems, and that's an acceptable workaround
for me at the moment, so this isn't an urgent issue for me currently.
I'll be appreciative of any insights, however.

Does the problem occur with "emacs -Q"?

Have you checked http://cygwin.com/faq/faq.html#faq.using.bloda ?
