using other methods to launch the file (like unzip or cmd /c) is not

Can we assume that using the cygwin program cygstart.exe* is
also ruled out? (*or maybe run.exe)
cygstart.exe and run.exe will start the SFX zip file as well.
while doing it via ./*SFXfile.exe* doesn't.
Following the guideline "Changing Cygwin's Maximum Memory" from
http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/setup-maxmem.html
the result of maxmem is
$ ./maxmem.exe
5fffe000 bytes (1536.0Mb)
(same result on a 2GB system as well as on a 4GB system) changing
this by regtool -i set /HKLM/Software/Cygnus\
Solutions/Cygwin/heap_chunk_in_mb 1024 or regtool -i set
/HKLM/Software/Cygnus\ Solutions/Cygwin/heap_chunk_in_mb 1536
followed by a reboot did not solve the issue.
I don't recall that you reported the results of setting this to
a very big number as suggested by Chris Faylor. (Please excuse
me if you did and I missed it.) For example:
$ regtool -i set /HKLM/Software/Cygnus\
Solutions/Cygwin/heap_chunk_in_mb 2048
You might also try 3072 and 4096. And you might want to check
that your swap file can grow big enough to handle it.

We tried this in the meantime without success. The problem is narrowed
down to cygwin1.dll in the meantime.

Thanks Dirk
