I've been using GNU Emacs 24.2.90.1 (i686-pc-cygwin, GTK+ Version 3.4.4) of
2012-11-27 since the cygwin standard emacs package hung waiting on a child
process which had gone defunct. These continuing error messages may indicate
there is still a problem.
(emacs:2844): GLib-WARNING **: In call to g_spawn_sync(), exit status of a
child process was requested but SIGCHLD action was set to SIG_IGN and ECHILD
was received by waitpid(), so exit status can't be returned. This is a bug in
the program calling g_spawn_sync(); either don't request the exit status, or
don't set the SIGCHLD action.
This is the error you get when you start emacs under X11 without having
a D-Bus session daemon running. See the release announcement for details:
