Is that with Cygwin 1.5.25 or with Cygwin 1.7? If it's 1.5.25, could you try if this still occurs under Cygwin 1.7? Does this only happen when started from a native Windows process (cmd.exe or so) or does this also happen when started from Cygwin's bash? > Furthermore, I would like the process to become a service started by > cygrunsrv. Is it safe to use execve in a process started by cygrunsrv? Did you try?
