I swear I had written an actual answer to your mail.

Well, here it is again:

fork() is fundamental to Unix workings; it's, among other
things, how a shell starts new processes (first it fork(),
then the child exec() ). There is no way Cygwin could not
have fork(), nothing would work.

To convince yourself, try something simple, like a multitask
hello world:

void main( void ) {
  if ( ! fork() ) {
    printf( "Hello " );
  }
  sleep( 1 );
  printf( "world\n" );
}

So your problems must come from other libraries.

/Y - hope I can manage to post this time...
