Could someone point to what these changes are that are supposed to
make setting the heap size irrelevant? Dave mentioned "cygload". I
don't really know what that is, unless it has something to do with
the minor changes made to get cygwin somewhat working when loaded
dynamically.
I'm not really aware of any changes which would make setting the heap
size irrelevant.
