Dave, There is no JVM under Cygwin, so any JVM you're going to run will be a Windows program and will ignore the heap_chunk_in_mb setting (I'm assuming you're not running 'gcj', as you said "java for windows"). Do you get the same problem when running from a cmd.exe window? If yes, then it's a Java problem and off-topic for this list. If you only get this when running from a Cygwin program, please review > Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html and post a proper problem report. It would also help to know the version of Java that you're attempting to run and the exact command line.
