How about saying "cygwin bug" a few more times?  I love it when people sling
that term around while providing no details.

If fork/wait didsn't work it would be a serious problem with repercussions
for every package in the cygwin distribution and it would certainly be
one that we'd want to fix.

Can you be more precise in detailing this problem?
