Details

• Which terminal/shell are you running Git from? e.g Bash/CMD/PowerShell/other

Bash

• What commands did you run to trigger this issue? If you can provide a
  Minimal, Complete, and Verifiable example
  this will help us understand the issue.

Just start (or fork) Git Bash several times. You can answer me about windows memory protection, but I tried to disable it, wrong answer.

• What did you expect to occur after running these commands?

Stable work!

• What actually happened instead?

Periodically random error about forks, died unexpectedly, 0xC0000005, errno 11, retry: Resource temporarily unavailable ... (Cygwin.dll error on previous git bash versions with suggestion restart system every time.)

• If the problem was occurring with a specific repository, can you provide the
  URL to that repository to help us with testing?

No, it is not about repositories. It's about broken build.

Do note that this is less helpful than necessary.

I was not able to find an open or closed issue matching what I'm seeing

0xC0000005

You could have found this ticket, had you searched as instructed: #1200

So I'll close this as duplicate, assuming that the comment in the seemingly unrelated ticket about the 32-bit deprecation means that this is about 32-bit more than about Windows 7 or 8.

May you fix the issue before closing?

Help yourself. It's available. That's the beauty of open source. 😃
