I’ve run it here in two separate sessions of about 10 minutes each. Memory usage isn’t growing. Windows 10 preview, 64-bit OS and 64-bit Cygwin. > The taken memory is never > freed until os restart. I don’t think Cygwin could do that even if it wanted to, given that you don’t have any Cygwin services running. Once the last Cygwin process dies, the OS *will* release the memory it was holding. cygcheck didn’t seem to find any BLODA on your system, but that seems a more likely explanation than that Cygwin — a purely user-space program — has somehow caused a kernel-level memory leak. > Tested on three different Windows 7 x64 machines with actual > cygwin 2.x (32 and 64 bit). Try testing with all antimalware software disabled, or better, uninstalled. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
