AFAIK, Brian hasn't modified anyuthing in cygipc -- at least, he hasn't
sent the patches to me. So, I suspect his workaround exists within his
own program's code, and he chose to workaround the bug within the
context of using cygipc shared memory, rather than in a "pure"
cygwin1.dll context. Big deal -- it's still a workaround. The Right
Thing(tm) is to fix the bug in cygwin (then I'll gladly copy the fix
into cygipc...)
However, I don't understand the bug, so I certainly can't provide The
Right Thing. Sorry. :-(
