Is it failing because you have a leek, or is the heap just too
small. Making the heap bigger when you have a leek will only make it
run longer, but it will still fail.

There is a CDL option in 1.3.1 to control the heap size. I stopped
using the outdated 1.3.1 over 2 years ago, so i forget the name of the
option, but its something like CYGVAL_MALLOC_HEAP_SIZE.
