[arm-gnu] gdb virtual memory exhausted

["Henning, Brett" <Brett.Henning@xxxxxxx>]

I am trying to load an AXF file in gdb using the command 'file sas2xfw.axf' and get a virtual memory exhausted error.  I have a primitive memory allocation test that I run in my cygwin environment that shows 1.9 GB available.  I am running arm-none-eabi-gdb.exe under Windows 7.  I have tried both the version from ARM RVI 3.3 (6.6.50.20070320-cvs) and the latest lite version (7.2.50.20100908-cvs) from the CodeSourcery website.

Here are the error messages I get:
From 6.6.50.20070320-cvs:
