fork() can fail when the system runs out of non-interactive heap space (because there's not enough heap memory to allocate to the launched process). See: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;824422
The attached patch fixes two problems: 1. cygrunsrv doesn't exit when fork returns -1 (failed to spawn child process) 2. log message doesn't include the proper errno of the fork failure. Ben Hochstedler
