Thanks for that explanation!

I misinterpreted this announcement 
(http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2008-04/msg00166.html) 
but reading it more closely now I see that fork support 
was introduced for some environments already in 6.5. So 
I suppose I was getting my hopes up to high for fork 
support on cygwin.

Sorry for the trouble.
