Maybe "limit" isn't installed. Try commenting out those lines, I don't think they are critical.

Probably a stupid question, but how exactly do I do that?

Edit the file "startup" with a text editor. The start will look something like this:


#! /bin/csh -f

# Set the port number.
set port = 9500
if ( "$1" != "" ) set port="$1"

# Change to area directory.
cd ../area

# Set limits.
nohup
limit stacksize 1024k
limit coredumpsize unlimited
if ( -e shutdown.txt ) rm -f shutdown.txt

The lines beginning with "#" are comments. So, put "#" in front of the "limit" lines.

Also, it may be running normally but in the background so you don't see it in the Cygwin shell. The reason I say that is because when I enter ../src/startup from the area file, I get the limit error too, but a few seconds later, my firewall tells me the server is going active and I can log into the game. Personally, I prefer to use the command ../src/smaug to start the game manually so I can see what processes are taking place in the shell. The only time I use startup is if I need to use grep or something while the game is running. Just my two cents worth.
