So what cygwin are you using instead of the standard install? b20?

And Stanley used:

-L/usr/local/lib -ltcl84g -ltk84g -lm

in the Makefile he posted earlier. Would just:

-L/usr/local/lib -ltcl -ltk -lm

work for both of you? We should try to keep things as general as possible.

Nope. But since Stanley didn't see it (using tcl8.4.1) it must be specific
to your build.

Have you tested what games you can run without the memory problem? Would be
interesting to know.
