[Gmsh] Error Using GMSH on MS2000 w/ 71022 Nodes & 10101 Elements, WhileAttempting 70,000 Elements

[David Colignon]

It's maybe a Cygwin memory limitation.

You will have to add the following key in your registry : 

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin]
"heap_chunk_in_mb"=dword:00000400

and adjust the value in function of the amount of physical RAM you have.

more info if you do a query on heap_chunk_in_mb  on the Cygwin
mailing-list, or

Received Segmentation error while attempting to load .msh file with 71022
Nodes & approx. 70,000 Elements. The error occured at 10,101 elements. Is
this an inherent limitation? (MS2000/CYGWIN/XFREE) Any suggestions are
appreciated!
    Thanks,
