Global constructors are certainly called, but there are issues in Cygwin
itself that may cause this problem unless you're using the latest Cygwin
DLL (and using one of my patches that's not in the snapshot itself -- cgf
is evaluating it).

Linkname: (patch) enable signals in dynamically loaded Cygwin DLL
URL: http://sourceware.cygnus.com/ml/cygwin-developers/1999-12/msg00024.html

If you send me the code for JNI (hopefully a trimmed down case that shows
the bug), I'll take a look.

Mumit
