How about "gdb --attach PID"? Does that succeed? GDB has the advantage of
being a Cygwin rather than Win32 exe, which might make it work better when
taking hold of the running process.

Well, that's pretty dubious right there; I'd focus on solving that problem
first, you want to be sure you've got all the basics correctly working before
you try to debug it in a more complicated environment such as running
daemonized.

Yep, it's dead useful for making sure that stuff at least starts up, and you
can often get a clue how far the code has got by seeing what handles it's
opened and syscalls its made.

It's nothing special: roughly, since I'm doing this purely from memory
untested, it goes like so -
${src}/configure -v --prefix=/usr
make -j6
make DESTDIR=`pwd`/.inst install
cd .inst/usr
mv etc ..
mv i686-pc-cygwin/{include,lib} .
rmdir i686-pc-cygwin
rm include/iconv.h
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ v.important that last one
cd bin/
cp ../../i686-pc-cygwin/winsup/cygwin/cygwin1.dbg .
rename cygwin1 cygwin1-`date +%Y%m%d` cygwin1*
cd ../..
tar cfvj cygwin1-`date +%Y%m%d`.tar.bz2 etc/ usr/
tar -C / -xjf cygwin1-`date +%Y%m%d`.tar.bz2
Then I exit my final bash shell and rename the new dll and dbg files in
place using cmd.exe.
cheers,
DaveK
