server that results in an endless loop. This is not fixed in any known
Gtk+ version (2.14.4 being current).
-** Emacs compiled with Gtk+ crashes on startup on Cygwin.
-
-A typical error message is
- ***MEMORY-ERROR***: emacs[5172]: GSlice: failed to allocate 504 bytes
- (alignment: 512): Function not implemented
-
-Emacs supplies its own malloc, but glib (part of Gtk+) calls memalign and on
-Cygwin, that becomes the Cygwin supplied memalign. As malloc is not the
-Cygwin malloc, the Cygwin memalign always returns ENOSYS.
-
-One workaround is to set G_SLICE=always-malloc before starting emacs.
-For example, in bash,
-
- G_SLICE=always-malloc emacs
-
-or put
-
- export G_SLICE=always-malloc
-
-in one of the bash startup files. This also has to be done before
-building emacs on Cygwin with Gtk+.
