Re: Memory Leak install Binutil ?

David,

I do not think that your problem has much to do with the failed binutils 
install.  Rather, I think that your problem has something to do with 
either a failed installation of the new version of the Cygwin DLL or it 
is due to a problem with the new version of the Cygwin DLL that was 
released just a day or two ago.  If it is the former, then you should 
try reinstalling the cygwin package (which contains cygwin1.dll), if it 
is the later, I am sure that we will hear tons of corroborating reports 
in the next several days :)
