Maybe fill in a few details here would be a start? At the moment it is just a part time personal problem, rather than a full time professional activity.. [1]

All of those solutions revolve around ASLR, but that error message could be caused by various other things. It could be a cygheap mismatch, but that should be unlikely with v2.40.0. Have you tried rebasing like the message suggests?

Did you check wether some other software is interfering with Git for Windows? See this list of known troublemakers.

[proxy-m]

Still the similar error, for me too.

[MaxKUlish1]

for me too!(

[dscho]

Y'all, there is way too little information provided in this report to do anything about it, so maybe instead of "me, too"ing, somebody could actually fill in the details, as asked for?

[proxy-m]

@dscho At other configurations the problem reproduced too (64bit, 32bit; 7, 10 and maybe on future 55 and 666). Example:

      1 [main] bash 442 dofork: child -1 - forked process 5116 died unexpectedly, retry 0, exit code 0xC0000005, errno 11
                                         bash: fork: retry: Resource temporarily unavailable

Bash

• What commands did you run to trigger this issue? If you can provide a
  Minimal, Complete, and Verifiable example

Just start (or fork) Git Bash several times. You can answer me about windows memory protection, but I tried to disable it, wrong answer.

• What did you expect to occur after running these commands?

Stable work!

• What actually happened instead?

Periodically random error about forks, died unexpectedly, 0xC0000005, errno 11, retry: Resource temporarily unavailable ... (Cygwin.dll error on previous git bash versions with suggestion restart system every time.)

• If the problem was occurring with a specific repository, can you provide the
  URL to that repository to help us with testing?

No, it is not about repositories. It's about broken build.

@proxy-m please try to produce an actual MCVE.

@proxy-m please try to produce an actual MCVE.

So, you still can not reproduce it... but continue closing issues about the problem. Strange.

I get the error more often when try to start some script with many forks from Git Bash.
But usually I get the error more than 1 times per 10-30 regular Git Bash startups or e.g. Gitk from it.

Without a method of reproducing the problem, with some certainty, then it's not a problem that can be addressed by others who aren't seeing the same issues, hence the request for an MVCE.

You indicate that "error more often when try start some script with many forks from Git Bash", so that is a good starter for you to create a test script that forces that situation.

Then checking if it works on any other machines you can access. Once you have that MVCE, and some clarity on how to set up the machine (e.g. ancillary apps that need to be present), then others could have a look.

I appreciate it is frustrating, but it's still a "fails elsewhere" problem without that MVCE.

@MaxKUlish1

for me too!(

How many RAM do you have?

Is your system distro language (i18n) English?

[iloveeclipse]

Same here, Windows 11, also with latest git installed from https://git-scm.com/download/win. Previously worked installation did work till today. Not sure if that was Windows update or git package update that caused the error - I do update both frequently.

[iloveeclipse]

OK, after playing with few older git releases (none worked, same error) I came to the conclusion that this is a Windows issue.

It turned out, changing global setting forForce relocation of images not compiled with /DYNAMICBASE to "off" and restart fixed the problem.
Interestingly, I never touched this option but it was set to on and it is NOT default according to the Windows itself?

I have German Windows (I assume the English option name would be Force relocation of images not compiled with /DYNAMICBASE), so here is the screenshot how it should look like:

[dscho]

Right, Cygwin (and as a consequence, MSYS2's runtime as well as Git for Windows' Bash) are incompatible with ASLR right now.

As the original reporter ghosted us, I'll close this here ticket.

[proxy-m]

Interesting... non-English Windows version again.
