I was away on vacation for a week. Cygwin / X / GNU Emacs 24.3.1 were
all working normally when I left. I left the computer powered on
while I was away. No software was updated on the computer during that
time, though I am running the BOINC software for World Community Grid.
Computer is running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit.
I left a couple of xterm windows open before I left, because there was
some work I wanted to be reminded of when I got home.
Upon arriving home last night, I tried to fire up Emacs, but now it's
not working. It either says "memory exhausted" or just hangs.
I rebooted, nothing changed.
I started "ash" and ran "rebaseall -v". Still, nothing changed.
This is not the first time that Emacs has died. The only way to fix
the problem is to completely re-install Cygwin from scratch.
Is there *any* way to try to figure out what is causing this?
