[GRASS-user] Virtual memory available to cygwin GRASS

[Luigi Ponti]

Hello,

As a less-than-two-year old cygwin/GRASS user, I have never seen virtual 
memory going over 1 GB while doing intensive computations with GRASS 
(e.g., v.surf.idw interpolation). I haven't found much on the topic in 
the web so I tried the following to increase virtual memory available to 
cygwin:
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2003-02/msg00234.html

but noticed no difference and so I am wondering whether cygwin/GRASS 
gets compiled with the -mno-cygwin flag that apparently allows programs 
to allocate up to 1920 MBytes:
http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2005-04/msg01309.html

Does anybody has experience with this?

Thanks and regards,

Luigi
