-Older Cygwin releases only supported a global registry setting to
-change the initial heap size for all Cygwin processes.  This setting is
-not used anymore.  However, if you're running an older Cygwin release
-than 1.7.10, you can add the <literal>DWORD</literal> value
-<literal>heap_chunk_in_mb</literal> and set it to the desired memory limit
-in decimal MB.  You have to stop all Cygwin processes for this setting to
-have any effect.  It is preferred to do this in Cygwin using the
-<command>regtool</command> program included in the Cygwin package.
-(see <xref linkend="regtool"></xref>) This example sets the memory limit
-to 1024 MB for all Cygwin processes (use HKCU instead of HKLM if you
-want to set this only for the current user):
