Cygwin's emacs-*-23.0.92-10 packages don't provide emacs.exe.  So you 
must be using the version you compiled yourself, unless you somehow have 
an emacs.exe left over from a previous cygwin version of emacs.  (I 
mention this in case someone wants to try to reproduce your problem, in 
which case your instructions would fail.)

I think fork failures are sometimes fixed by rebasing and sometimes 
result from http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#BLODA.  Have you looked into 
either of those possibilities?  Beyond that, I have no ideas, but maybe 
the experts can see something useful in your gdb output.
