Vista x64 STARTUPINFO Issue

- Subject: Vista x64 STARTUPINFO Issue
As I understand it, cygwin doesn't yet work on Vista x64. Does anyone know if a fix is under development?
>From what I have read, it is related to Windows no longer using the STARTUPINFO reserved parameters to pass information onto the new process. I have no idea exactly how cygwin does this, but I've done similar things in a more portable fashion using named pipes (named after a newly created GUID), so whether that would be a solution or not, I don't know...
Christian.
