Dear all,

I found strange behavior of cywin application under windows 2003 x64 R2 version.
When I run bash, it creates parent bash process and also child bash process as like followings;


cmd.exe
  +- bash.exe
     +- bash.exe

services.exe
  +- cygrunsvr.exe
     +- cygrunsvr.exe


But on Windows 2008 x64 R2 system, it create only one process as like followings;
cmd.exe
  +- bash.exe

services.exe
  +- cygrunsvr.exe

So I am wondering whether it is normal behavior of cygwin on Windows 2003 x64 R2 system or not.
And also if so, what's a cause of this happening.

Thanks and regards,
ChoongHyun.
