Problems starting xterm under win7

Hi,  I am still having problems with cygwin leaving blank xterm windows 
up each time an xterm window opens.  It does not go away until I exit 
the xterm window, unlike the Xserver windows that go away once the 
server is started.  They fill up my task bar with useless icons which 
makes navigation really difficult.  It would be nice it someone would 
give me a resolution to this!

Also,  every once in awhile I get the following errors when I try to 
start and xterm window:

$ xterm
      1 [main] xterm 4080 C:\Xwin\bin\xterm.exe: *** fatal error - 
couldn't allocate heap, Win32 error 487, base 0x890000, top 0x9D0000, 
reserve_size 1306624, allocsize 1310720, page_const 4096
      1 [main] xterm 1700 child_info::sync: wait failed, pid 4080, Win32 
error 1812
   1127 [main] xterm 1700 fork: child -1 - died waiting for longjmp 
before initialization, retry 0, exit code 0x1000000, errno 11
xterm: Error 29, errno 11: Resource temporarily unavailable
Reason: spawn: fork() failed



I'm running Win7 64 bit with 8 Gig of memory, but then cygwin is 32 bit 
right?

Any help?

thanks,
jerry
