Memory Leak install Binutil ?

Hi All,
I am trying to install binutils on cygwin running under Win 98. =
Unfortunately it fails at the same spot each time (see below for the =
error messages).

It almost seems like there is a memory leak since after the binutil =
install failure, I tried to start a command shell and Windows reported =
it did not have enough memory to start a shell. The only running process =
is bash.

Ideas? Suggestions?

Regards David
