If you can make this issue reappear, please comment again or file another bug report. If you want this issue resolved, we will need more details about what is done to cause the problem to appear and what can be done to fix it. As far as I know none of the regular testers or developers see this issue.

GNU Octave I installed is the latest 4.0.3 version.  I have been trying it for the past two weeks or so to get a feel.  I had Matlab experience before.  Octave is a nice representation, but with occasional glitches.  On this issue, I did reinstall and restart the system.  Now it's okay.  I don't know whether the reinstallation or the restart fixed the issue.  So far I am not seeing this error now.

This same error has been previous reported as bug #47497, closed without a resolution or a fix.

I think the error message referencing cygwin comes from the msys-1.0.dll library, so I don't think this has to do with mixing environments.

If you turn off the pager with "more off", it should work. But calling the pager should also work. Bug #47497 suggested that replacing msys-1.0.dll with another version of the same library would fix the error, I don't know whether that's a real fix or not.

Please tell us, which version of GNU Octave you are using, e.g. provide the link where you downloaded your installer.

Your error message doesn't look related to Octave, see for example a cygwin error for git:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18502999/git-extensions-win32-error-487-couldnt-reserve-space-for-cygwins-heap-win32

I think the official installers (https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/octave/windows/) use MinGW in favor of cygwin. Do you run both environments parallel?

It was working okay.  Don't know what went wrong.
