256mb limit in cygwin - heap_chunk_in_mb not working?


Hi all

I have edited/created the DWORD registry entry heap_chunk_in_mb (the ls of
/proc/registry is below) and it reads 512 in regedit.

I reboot but still a simple program that does new char[ 256 * 1024 * 1024 ]
will run out of memory.

AFAIK I am using the recent versions of absolutely everything. (cygcheck
below)

Any ideas what's going on, I want to run some memory intensive algorithmic
programs and can't because of this problem.

Regards
