This should work in the latest developer snapshot uploaded to
https://cygwin.com/snapshots/ Please give it a try.
Thanks,

Nice!
This solves: <program> -i /dev/fd/N N<<EOF (i.e. Steven Penny's
problem)
Howver ...
(and I sure that I am not telling you anything new)
it still not the same as Linux ...
So, for the record only:
and as another example, this STC succeeds on Linux ..., but fails on
Cygwin.
