If it is 64 bit system then it will not be available in a 32 bit
process such as Cygwin's bash in that directory. You'll need to look
at /cygdrive/c/Windows/sysnative/taskkill instead.

As I read it,
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa384187(v=vs.85).aspx
says that use of sysnative is optional for WOW64 applications. However,
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/942589 reports a problem with directly using
system32 on 64-bit version of Server 2003 and Windows XP. Perhaps the version
of Microsoft Windows is the issue?
On my Windows-7 64-bit system, sysnative is not in the path but system32 is.
On that system, taskkill seems to work from Cygwin.

peflags makes perl not print to stdout
I have been trying to get perl to use 2GB of memory (this is on a 32 bit xp machine with 4 GB total memory). As per http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/setup-maxmem.html I tried peflags --cygwin-heap=2048 /usr/bin/perl However this causes perl to not write to screen. On further investigation, I found the magic number to be 1040: $ peflags --cygwin-heap=1039 /usr/bin/perl /usr/bin/perl: initial Cygwin heap size: 1039 (0x40f) MB $ perl -e 'print Hello\n;' Hello $ peflags --cygwin-heap=1040 /usr/bin/perl /usr/bin/perl: initial Cygwin heap size: 1040 (0x410) MB $ perl -e 'print Hello\n;' $ In other words, anything 1040 and above, perl stops writing to screen. I have the latest cygwin (1.7.16) and perl (5.14.2). Any idea what might be wrong?
