pixz reports block encoder instead memory allocation error

[zhro]

Compiled under the latest Cygwin x32 and attempted to compress some files resulted in the following error:

"error creating block encoder"

The command line options I used were:

pixz -9 < file.tar > file.tar.pxz

Increasing the available memory to the Cygwin program alleviated the issue. It took some head scratching.
