    <p>I'm having difficulties with msysgit in a windowXP 32 bit environment I would really appreciate some help with. In actual fact, I'm using SmartGit and love the program. However it fails to run both Save Stash and Clean Up. As I thought the problem was with SmartGit, I approached the developers for help. However, it turns out the problem with with msysgit.<br> The SmartGit I have uses msysgit 1.8.1.2 -preview20130201. I have also installed Git-1.8.3-preview20130601 in a separate directory. No matter which of the two versions SmartGit uses, the problems persists.</p> <p>The message given by SmartGit upon trying to save a stash is:</p> <pre><code>0 [main] us 0 open_stackdumpfile: Dumping stack trace to us.stackdump 0 [main] sh.exe" 8776 sync_with_child: child 936(0x18C) died before initia lization with status code 0xC0000005 85 [main] sh.exe" 8776 sync_with_child: *** child state waiting for longjmp C:\Program Files\SmartGitHg 4.5\git/libexec/git-core\git-stash: fork: Resource t emporarily unavailable </code></pre> <p>Clean Up generates the following message:</p> <pre><code>Clean Up: failed to run repack 0 [main] us 0 open_stackdumpfile: Dumping stack trace to us.stackdump 0 [main] sh.exe" 7236 sync_with_child: child 1236(0x988) died before initialization with status code 0xC0000005 4811 [main] sh.exe" 7236 sync_with_child: *** child state waiting for longjmp </code></pre> <p>If I use the Git Gui directly (instead of SmartGit),to do the compression on the same repository, I get: </p> <pre><code>0 [main] sh.exe" 384 sync_with_child: child 7628(0x9A0) died before initialization with status code 0xC0000005 1086 [main] sh.exe" 384 sync_with_child: *** child state waiting for longjmp /usr/libexec/git-core/git-sh-setup: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable </code></pre> <p>If I try virtually anything with the Git Bash console, for example ls</p> <pre><code>sh.exe"-3.1$ ls 0 [main] us 0 open_stackdumpfile: Dumping stack trace to us.stackdump 68591127 [main] sh.exe" 712 sync_with_child: child 4772(0x1B4) died before initi alization with status code 0xC0000005 68591227 [main] sh.exe" 712 sync_with_child: *** child state waiting for longjmp sh.exe": fork: Resource temporarily unavailable sh.exe"-3.1$ </code></pre> <p>However, if I use Cygwin (git gc) on the repository, everything works fine.</p> <p>I have done a web search and have found that other users have had similar error messages. The closest I found was:</p> <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5851611/git-sh-exe-process-forking-issue-on-windows-xp-slow">Git sh.exe process forking issue on windows XP, slow?</a></p> <p>But I don't believe that I have the same issue. Any suggestions on what I could try would be greatly appreciated.</p> <p>Thanks Ivo</p> <p>I have two computers running XP. One of them runs Git-1.8.3-preview20130601 without problems, the other doesn't. On the one that doesn't I started the machine in diagnostic startup -virtually no services running and I still have the same problem. I suppose it could be something to do with the registry?</p>
