Re: OutofMemory in pass 16?

Thanks Michael,

I have resolved the issue.

The error message was produced when I ran the script inside cygwin, I was 
not 100% sure what the root cause was, but I guess it might be due to memory 
leak in the tools I used.  After trying different versions of python, cvs 
and cygwin DLL, I still couldn't get rid of the error, but I was leaning 
towards that it was a problem in cygwin (or I didn't configure cygwin 
correctly).

Then I decided to run the script in a pure Windows environment without using 
cygwin. There is not too much trouble except finding the correct 
'sort.exe'(I ended up using the 'sort.exe' shipped with cygwin - even 
sort.exe in GNU core Unix util didn't work for me).  Finally I reran the 
script, everything is fine. The end.

Again, many thanks to whoever developed cvs2svn, it is a very good tool.


Kevin
