It shouldn’t. However, you cannot expect any cross-process mechanisms to work correctly across that boundary like pipes, shared memory, and other forms of IPC that don’t map 1:1 to native Windows mechanisms. (So, TCP/IP will be compatible across the boundary, since both MKS and Cygwin implement BSD sockets in terms of Winsock.) > Secondly, I'm really confused about 32bit versus 64bit servers; > should I just use 32bit Cygwin to be sure?
