Git catches the error "Out of memory, malloc failed"

When I tried to reload the repo:

git rebase XXX YYY

I get the error "Out of memory, malloc failed":

First, rewinding head to replay your work on top of it...
fatal: Out of memory, malloc failed (tried to allocate 34537367 bytes)

git encountered an error while preparing the patches to replay
these revisions:

    3d5a7259c57b6b8a86fd6f7c44e6efa25a0e9db4..450ac9a6cf85475ab1a38b763f2f9a836a
4ba6a0

As a result, git cannot rebase them.

If I use a cherry disk, it works without errors:

git checkout XXX
git cherry-pick YYY

I used Git on Windows version 1.9.4-preview20140815. The device has 8 GB of RAM, there is no file larger than 100 MB in the repo, and the following parameters are related to packaging:

[core]
    packedGitWindowSize = 256m
    packedGitLimit = 256m

[pack]
    packSizeLimit = 2g
    threads = 2
    deltaCacheSize = 256m
    windowMemory = 256m

Firstly, 1.9.4-preview20140815 is not the latest version of git. You can download the latest version here .

Also, if you think git uses more than 4 GB of RAM in Cygwin 32bits, you can switch to Cygwin 64bit
