After upgrading to Windows 10 TH2 (ver 1511, build 10586), any attempt
to launch a cygwin64 process from 32bit native app (for example,
C:\windows\syswow64\cmd.exe) *always* results in a fork error.
To be precise, I can execute 64bit bash.exe from 32bit cmd.exe.
However, this bash process never succeeds in forking a child (ls or
something).
Also, I cannot launch 64bit mintty.exe from 32bit cmd.exe. It always
fails in a error dialog saying that:
mintty: could not detach from caller
Try '--help' for more information.
When launching from 64bit app, this issue doesn't happen.
